Some examples that might inspire specific usecases of your own are given below.

Provide a common base within your team: whether you want to make available invidual components mapped from your internal repository or complex virtual distros, Cloudsmith provides a central point of access for everyone in your team ensuring a quick and consistent work base.

Assemble cool things and tell others about it: you have developed a cool Eclipse plugin which goes with a large set of other plugins? No need to host and distribute all of them or to defer your users to other sites. Create a distro and Cloudlink it - for example in your blog.

Support your customers via Cloudsmith: you are a software vendor who has to adapt distributions for individual customers ? Make them available to your customers via private spaces at Cloudsmith.

Track components of interest: when you map components to Cloudsmith you can specify that a mapping job is scheduled in certain intervals to pick up components at the specified locations. No need to do this manually.

Become a virtual distro publisher: you can become a software publisher simply by creating variations of distros on Cloudsmith. Make it your mission to give commonly used stacks of components to the community without hosting a download site or writing any code.
