Details
The Eclipse Foundation has unveiled the Open VSX Managed Registry, beginning to offer a vendor-neutral managed registry for the VS Code extension ecosystem.
Open VSX is an open-source alternative for tools built on the VS Code extension API, currently handling over 300 million downloads per month, with peak daily requests of 200 million. The registry hosts over 10,000 extensions and over 7,000 publishers.
The new service targets AI-native IDEs and cloud development environments. AWS, Google, and Cursor were mentioned as early customers, and commercial users receive a 99.95% uptime SLA, service credits, support tiers, and operational guarantees.
Meanwhile, individual developers and open-source projects can continue to use it for free. Eclipse explained that as AI agents and automated workflows proliferate, extension registries also need to be treated as large-scale, always-on infrastructure.
