Tilleggshub

Tilleggshub is a centralized platform for managing, distributing, and governing add-ons and extensions across software ecosystems. In Norwegian usage, tilleggshub denotes a central repository and distribution point that augments core software with optional functionality.

A tilleggshub typically provides a metadata registry, an artifact store, and a distribution API, along with a developer portal for publishing add-ons and client integrations or SDKs for host applications. It also includes a governance layer that handles security, licensing, compatibility, and update management, as well as mechanisms for signing and provenance verification.

Common features include discovery and search, version and dependency management, compatibility checks with host platforms, and support for secure installation, updates, and rollbacks. Many implementations offer analytics, usage telemetry, and policy-based governance to prevent unsafe or incompatible extensions from being distributed.

Typical use cases span content management systems, e-commerce platforms, game engines, developer platforms, and enterprise IT environments where internal tooling relies on standardized extensions. By centralizing hosting and governance, tilleggshub can reduce fragmentation, improve trust and compatibility, and simplify maintenance for developers and administrators.

Challenges include ensuring supply-chain security, preventing vendor lock-in, and avoiding a single point of failure without proper redundancy and governance.
