Compared to any other tools, AWS products provide better integrations. We have tools for all our needs. The integrations are good. The product is a fully managed service. We specify the various stages in the CI/CD process. We can do it without any external tools. Going through everything is usually an overhead for developers. It is like a configuration. We need to configure it only once. The integration with other AWS services has helped us. Our life as a developer is easy. We need not focus on the integration manually. If we work with third-party tools, we must consider connectivity, role management, security, authentication, and authorization. In AWS CodePipeline, if we have IAM roles configured and KMS for the credentials, we need not worry about anything else. Everything can be done within the tool. The integrations are the best part. We can track everything. The connectivity and scalability are good. The architecture is also flexible enough. We can add multiple things.

Our primary use case for CodePipeline involves deploying the different services, such as hosting a website on ECS or EC2 and deploying source code on container services or EC2 instances. We configure the source code with remote repositories like GitHub or Bitbucket, build the code, and store images…

Key learnings from peers

Last updated Nov 1, 2024

Valuable Features

"I prefer using CodePipeline and CodeBuild in AWS due to their integration with AWS services, like directly deploying to ECS using Cloud Deploy."
"CodePipeline allows integration with any source code and facilitates deployment to EC2 or ECS, which is highly valuable."
"The notification and approval approach in the production environment are very useful."

Room for Improvement

"I would appreciate if we don't have to install any agents, even for EC2, to deploy using CodeDeploy into EC2 servers. It would help if AWS allows application deployment without requiring the Fortify agent installation."
"While CodePipeline's UI has improved, further enhancements in user experience are necessary to make it more intuitive."
"Improved enhancements and features could make it more intuitive."

Pricing

"The pricing is manageable."
"AWS charges you based on the number of pipelines you have and how active they are, and I also think that the root account user knows about all the price-related metrics."
"The price of the product depends on how many times you run it. The tool offers a pay-as-you-go model."
