Recently at Microsoft’s TechEd in Europe, Marcel de Vries, Visual Studio ALM MVP and CTO Xpirit, wowed the audience when presenting a talk on how to accelerate continuous delivery by improving NuGet component management.

Nuget Component ManagementUse of repository managers in continuous delivery environments are shown to reduce build times 20-fold as compared to relying on public open source repositories like the NuGet Gallery. By relying on a local caching proxy for the NuGet Gallery and hosting your own proprietary NuGet packages locally, you can dramatically improve build speeds and reliability.

Marcel showed how a repository manager that integrates with NuGet helps .NET developers manage component versions, dependencies and license types using proxy facilities to ensure a continuous flow of development and faster cycle times.
