¿Es npm una CDN?

Is npm a CDN?

The CDN caches files based on their permanent URL, which includes the npm package version. This works because npm does not allow package authors to overwrite a package that has already been published with a different one at the same version number. Redirects are cached for 10 minutes at the CDN, 1 minute in browsers.

With npm private packages, you can use the npm registry to host code that is only visible to you and chosen collaborators, allowing you to manage and use private code alongside public code in your projects. Private packages always have a scope, and scoped packages are private by default.

By default, scoped packages are published with private visibility.

No public NPM package would be complete without a Git repository behind it. To be honest, I’m not even sure if NPM will let you publish your package without initializing a Git repository. Regardless, the usefulness of it cannot be overstated.

we are using the Sonatype Nexus, version is Nexus Repository ManagerOSS 3.6.1-02. And I am sure that it supports NPM private repository and cached the package.
