As a C and C++ developer how do you choose the right package management system for your code? There are a ton of questions that you should be asking yourself: does it have integrations, do we need end-to-end binary management, can it work with different software systems, will it provide consistency to my CI/CD workflow? Fortunately we have an open source solution that solves the riddle of package managers… Conan!

Conan the Barbarian is forced to solve “The riddle… of steel,” so that he can reach his end goal of resting in eternity in Valhalla. To a somewhat lesser degree we want to make our users happy and solve the riddle of package managers and for us that is Conan with Artifactory. In this session we will talk about how C and C++ developers that are having issues when trying to create a repository system for their packages can solve this complex problem with Conan. Conan abstracts away build systems, defines a “Project API” for C++ project, provides a repository system for multi-binary packages, and serves as a building block for Continuous Integration workflows.
