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.

I use the solution for continuous integration The integration of the product with our ecosystem is very good. X-Ray and CloudWatch metrics are already integrated. If anything happens, we can see everything immediately. If it were Jenkins, we would have needed an instance to run it and a server to…

Key learnings from peers

Valuable Features

"A valuable feature is the support for third-party repositories such as Bitbucket, GitLab, or GitHub."
"The tool is used to build and test code. I find its biggest advantages are elasticity and reliability. We can easily assign as many computing resources as needed to build our code, which is much simpler than traditional methods that require server upgrades. It's a serverless tool, so it's very flexible and elastic."
"It works seamlessly with AWS Elastic Container Registry (ECR)."

Room 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."
"For improvement, I'd suggest more build instance-type options. There's a big jump from 15 gigabytes of RAM to 150, and I'd like something in between as the larger option is too expensive for our needs."
"While working on building images for multiple applications within a single script, I encountered an issue where looping functionality was not supported as expected."

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."
