The record

Purpose: The registry lets users publish and share packages that downstream projects can consume as dependencies.
Visibility: GitLab can be used as a private or public registry for supported package managers.
Availability: The Package Registry is included in Free, Premium and Ultimate and is offered on GitLab.com, GitLab Self-Managed and GitLab Dedicated.
CI/CD integration: GitLab CI/CD can build or import packages, and jobs can authenticate to the registry with CI_JOB_TOKEN.
Supported formats: Generally available formats include Generic packages, Helm, Maven, npm, NuGet and PyPI; Composer and Conan are beta, while Debian, Go and Ruby gems are experiments.
Package workflows: A project can host packages for multiple package types, including packages built from a monorepo.
API and automation: The registry can be administered through an API, and generic packages support API access for automation.
Access controls: Project roles govern package access; for private projects, Reporters can view and pull packages and Developers can publish them.
Package protection: Package protection rules can restrict who may push or delete matching packages, with support documented for npm, PyPI, Maven and Conan.
Audit events: Package publication and deletion can generate audit events when the namespace setting is enabled; audit events are a Premium and Ultimate feature.
Dependency proxy: The dependency proxy caches copies of upstream packages to reduce external downloads and speed up builds; GitLab marks this feature beta and Premium/Ultimate.
Known limits: GitLab lists Conda, CRAN, RPM and Swift among package formats that are not supported by the registry.
npm security behavior: For npm audits, GitLab forwards requests to npmjs.com by default to retrieve vulnerability information, and warns that audit request bodies can include private package information.
Support: The Premium plan includes Priority Support; GitLab states paid-plan support is 24/7 for Emergency severity and 24/5 for other impact levels.
