| Free tier | Bounded by the size of the git repo it builds from, not by a storage quota: a build fails with 'Git error. Max repo size 250MB exceeded'. JitPack builds any public git repo on demand and serves the resulting Maven artifacts at com.github.<user>.<repo>:<tag>. unit mixed; metered on stored-bytes |

| Price | none stated |

| Limits | - per-object-cap (binding) per-object-cap: 250 MB source
per-object-cap: 250 MB repo size (hard build error). request-rate: builds are queued per-IP (anonymous builds are rate limited; the API exposes per-tag build state). retention: build artifacts are cached but a failing/expired build is rebuilt on demand - not durable storage. |
|---|
| Identity | institution (inferred, not read) not published |
|---|
| Egress | Free. Artifacts served from jitpack.io CDN with no billing. |
|---|
| Per-object cap | per-object-cap: 250 MB (250000000 bytes) |
|---|
| Retention | not stated |
|---|
| Interface | rest, rclone, cli rest |
|---|
| Tooling | Any Maven/Gradle resolver pointed at https://jitpack.io; JitPack build API at /api/builds/<group>/<artifact> (open, returns build status per tag). No dedicated CLI beyond Maven/Gradle; no rclone backend. |
|---|
| Composes with | unlimited public git repos x unlimited tags/commits x 250 MB repo each. Because artifacts are derived, storage is the repo's, and the same content is rebuilt per tag - so it amplifies, it does not multiply storage. 250 MB x N repos is the honest ceiling. |
|---|
| Reliability | Build service, not storage: artifacts can be evicted and rebuilt, and repo size is hard-capped at 250 MB. Read path live and public (verified /api/builds/com.github.jitpack/maven-simple returning ok states across dozens of tags). |
