You Must know

• Uplinks must be registries compatible with the npm endpoints. Eg: verdaccio, sinopia@1.4.0, npmjs registry, yarn registry and more.
• Setting cache to false will help to save space in your hard drive.
• Exceed with multiple uplinks might slow down the lookup of your packages due for each request a npm client does, verdaccio does 1 call for each uplink.
• The (timeout, maxage and fail_timeout) format follow the NGINX measurement units
