moduletohub

Moduletohub is a centralized platform that hosts, publishes, discovers, and manages modular software components, including plugins, adapters, and micro-modules. Designed for use across development teams and runtimes, it provides a single registry and a uniform API for exchanging reusable units while maintaining control over versions and dependencies.

The hub offers a web interface and REST/GraphQL APIs, enabling users to browse modules, publish new releases, and query compatibility. It uses a manifest to describe each module, including its name, version, author, license, dependencies, and compatible runtimes. The platform supports semantic versioning, dependency resolution, and automatic upgrading guidance to minimize breaking changes.

Module semantics: modules declare dependencies on other modules and may specify compatibility ranges. The hub can host modules across multiple ecosystems and includes a plugin model to extend functionality of the hub itself. It provides search, tagging, and metadata standards to facilitate discovery and reuse. Optional features include provenance tracking, signatures for integrity, and license scanning.

Governance and security: Moduletohub emphasizes open contribution and clear governance. It supports access controls, auditing trails, signed publication, and vulnerability advisory workflows. It can integrate with CI/CD pipelines to automate testing, validation, and release processes.

Impact and history: Since its inception, Moduletohub has been adopted by organizations pursuing modular architectures and cross-team collaboration. It aims to reduce duplication, improve component reuse, and standardize interoperability across projects. Critics note that reliance on a central registry can create bottlenecks if governance is slow.
