Streamlines CI/CD pipelines with good support but integration improvements are needed
Pros and Cons
  • "CodeBuild supports various platforms and coding."
  • "We had integration issues with a tool called Octopus Deploy while using CodeBuild. AWS support helped us resolve it, however, it could be better."

What is our primary use case?

We have been using Amazon EKS, Elastic Kubernetes Service, ECS, and EKS for containerization. For databases, we have been using RDS, Relational Database Services. We also use CodeBuild and CodeCommit for maintaining our code repository. Additionally, we have worked on a small project for migrating a bulk amount of data into AWS with the help of a migration service.

What is most valuable?

CodeBuild supports various platforms and coding, which offers an advantage. I have also been using AWS CodeBuild for our CICD pipeline, where we have source build, test, and deployment. 

We integrated AWS CodeCommit for repository management, and we transitioned from using Maven for the build process to AWS CodeBuild. Additionally, for testing, we use Selenium, and deployment occurs on EC2 AWS servers.

What needs improvement?

We had integration issues with a tool called Octopus Deploy while using CodeBuild. AWS support helped us resolve it, however, it could be better.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using AWS CodeBuild for four plus years.
