Streamline Dependency Management for R

The R programming language is a cornerstone for data analysis, visualization, and machine learning — powered by thousands of packages from the Comprehensive R Archive Network (CRAN). However, managing dependencies across large R projects can quickly become complex and risky. Sonatype enables organizations to proxy, host, and secure R packages, giving teams full visibility and control over open source. Whether you’re building reproducible R environments or integrating CI/CD workflows, Sonatype helps you maintain security, compliance, and performance throughout your data ecosystem.
