What is AWS CodeBuild?

AWS CodeBuild is a fully managed continuous integration service that compiles source code, runs tests, and produces software packages that are ready to deploy. With CodeBuild, you don’t need to provision, manage, and scale your own build servers. CodeBuild scales continuously and processes multiple builds concurrently, so your builds are not left waiting in a queue. You can get started quickly by using prepackaged build environments, or you can create custom build environments that use your own build tools. With CodeBuild, you are charged by the minute for the compute resources you use.

The product must provide more integrations. It is a replica of Jenkins. We have a management overhead. When I build artifacts stored outside the S3 bucket, it will have additional charges on the storage volumes. If we use S3 buckets regularly, it is fine. However, when we store somewhere else, it will be an issue. There is no persistent storage or preservation of workspace between the builds. We must fix the dependencies every time, even if the dependencies are the same. It is unnecessary.

We have it on various client projects and we rarely use it individually. It forms part of an entire pipeline committed in CodeCommit along with all the customers' code. Then, it's picked up by CodeBuild in the pipeline to build the site, update the sites, and update the services with CloudFormation…

A valuable feature is the support for third-party repositories such as Bitbucket, GitLab, or GitHub. Another valuable feature is the logging feature, which saves all the build logs in CloudWatch. This makes it easy to track or trace the logs of all the builds and helps in the troubleshooting process.

Key learnings from peers

Last updated Nov 21, 2024

Valuable Features

"The initial setup of CodeBuild is easy."
"The most important thing is that it's self-contained in an AWS account, and it's all linked to the customer's AWS account."
"A valuable feature is the support for third-party repositories such as Bitbucket, GitLab, or GitHub."

Room for Improvement

"There have been times when CodeBuild has shown some instability, like bugs or breakdowns."
"The front-end interface and the management are somewhat challenging, and there's a lot of space for improvement."
"Notifications could be added, or SNS integration could be included so that notifications can be received on every build, whether the build fails or succeeds."

Pricing

"AWS CodeBuild is free. We only pay for our code's compute resources during the build process. For example, if our code takes ten minutes to build, we only pay for those ten minutes of computing time. CodeDeploy and CodePipeline are free because they're serverless and don't require computing resources. CodeCommit has minimal costs for storing code."
"Despite the cost, it is worth the investment."
"We pay a monthly licensing fee."
