Build Artifacts

This is a quick story about a thing I miss, that doesn't seem to have a default solution in our industry: a build artifact store.

In a previous world, we had one. You could query it for a "global build number" and it would assign you a build number (and a writable to you S3 bucket). You could then produce a build, and store it back into the build-database, with both immutable metadata (what it was, when it was built, from what commits, etc.) and mutable metadata (tags). You could then query the build database for the build that matches criteria. Perhaps you want the latest build of Elephant that ran on Slackware and passed the nightly tests? This could both be used to cobble together tiers of QA and as a build artifact cache. This was a super simple service, cobbled together in a few files of Python, and it held up to our needs quite well.

What do you use? Surely Git LFS or Artifactory aren't the end states here.
