Simple to use, but we have a lot of difficulties, but proper support is not available
Pros and Cons
  • "I can integrate it with other AWS services."
  • "The support and those things are lacking compared to others."

What is our primary use case?

I mostly use it for Jenkins. While using Jenkins, I have been using AWS CodeDeploy. We have been doing deployments using EKS and containerized cluster deployments.

Mostly on-prem applications only. We have been working on it.

What is most valuable?

In AWS CodeDeploy, it is simple to create in the cloud, but the cost efficiency is high using the AWS cloud. That is the thing.

What needs improvement?

The cost could be improved. If it were more cost-effective, it would be great. CI/CD deployment is not an open and free tool. If I use the AWS cloud, it's very costly.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using it for around four years. I have been working on AWS deployments.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

We have a lot of difficulties, but proper support is not available.

I would rate the stability a six out of ten. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is scalable, but not compared to other clouds. It's not that scalable. It is scalable, but the support and those things are lacking compared to others. This is just my opinion.

For scalability, I can give it around a five out of ten.

How are customer service and support?

There is a lack of support from AWS.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

How was the initial setup?

CodeDeploy is very easy to deploy, but every time we encounter an issue, there is a lack of support from AWS. They don't take responsibility. We need to do the customization and troubleshooting ourselves. Even for core-level issues, they hardly respond.

I integrate it with other AWS services , such as EC2, EKS, ECR, and ECS. They work well. AWS has storage services that are very helpful, but everything is costly.

What was our ROI?

It saves a lot of effort, but it's expensive. If we used some open, highly available tools like Jenkins or others, it would be fine. But AWS CodeDeploy is very costly.

What other advice do I have?

I would hardly recommend it, maybe fifty percent of the time.

Overall, I would rate it a six out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

On-premises

Doesn't require scripting for each stage but improvements can be made for agent compatibility
Pros and Cons
  • "AWS CodeDeploy operates on an on-demand basis. This means that you only pay for the exact duration of the deployment process. Whether it takes one minute, two minutes, or even longer, you're only charged for the time it takes to complete the deployment. You're not locked into paying for dedicated servers."
  • "Improvements could be made to AWS CodeDeploy in terms of its agent's compatibility across different operating systems. Currently, there are instances where the agent may not work seamlessly with certain integrations, leading to issues with registering protocols on authorized servers."

What is our primary use case?

I recommended using AWS CodeDeploy for a small customer, an institute that wanted their application replicated on AWS. AWS CodeDeploy was chosen for its simplicity and ease of integration. Unlike other tools that require extensive scripting for each stage, it offers a drag-and-drop functionality, making the deployment process easy. 

What is most valuable?

AWS CodeDeploy operates on an on-demand basis. This means that you only pay for the exact duration of the deployment process. Whether it takes one minute, two minutes, or even longer, you're only charged for the time it takes to complete the deployment. You're not locked into paying for dedicated servers.

It is suitable for environments with multiple stages. Its capabilities allow for the management of production and review processes. Our focus lies on the development or unit environment within AWS. Changes are implemented weekly in the production environment, although not all customers utilize this approach.

The tool's integration is easier than any other open-source solution.  Its implementation has enhanced our team's productivity. With this tool, once the code is uploaded, everything is automated. The code becomes available automatically and is deployed to the server without manual intervention, such as logging in, copying, and pasting the code. It helps us to save a lot of time. 

What needs improvement?

Improvements could be made to AWS CodeDeploy in terms of its agent's compatibility across different operating systems. Currently, there are instances where the agent may not work seamlessly with certain integrations, leading to issues with registering protocols on authorized servers.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I rate the product's stability an eight out of ten. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I rate the tool's scalability an eight out of ten. 

How was the initial setup?

The tool's deployment is easy. It's easier than open-source solutions, which may require more time. It is cost-effective and fast. 

What other advice do I have?

I recommend AWS CodeDeploy as it consistently ranks at the top in the market. I've worked with other cloud services like Azure and Google Cloud Platform, but AWS CodeDeploy always stands out with its features. Their continuous improvement of the user interface and documentation is commendable. It has also improved the front-end experience. I rate it a ten out of ten.

it's more cost-effective than other services
Pros and Cons
  • "It's just like every other AWS resource I use. It gets the job done."

    What is our primary use case?

    We use CodeDeploy to deploy code across multiple instances and servers.

    What is most valuable?

    It's just like every other AWS resource I use. It gets the job done. 

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I've been using CodeDeploy for about two or three years.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    I rate AWS CodeDeploy nine out of 10 for stability. 

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    I rate AWS CodeDeploy eight out of 10 for scalability. When our application needs additional resources, it scales up automatically. 

    How was the initial setup?

    Setting up CodeDeploy is pretty easy. I rate it eight out of 10 for ease of setup. Deployment depends on the infrastructure I'm running. It's a serverless computer, but I know it's pretty fast. 

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    It isn't expensive compared to other services I've used. It's less than a dollar per use, so it's more cost-effective than other AWS resources like Lambda. it depends on your usage and how long you run the application run or the resources used by the deployment. All those things come into play. It's not only CodeDeploy, which isn't a separate bill we pay. We pay bills for various cloud resources.

    What other advice do I have?

    I rate CodeDeploy eight out of 10.  I would encourage people to use AWS CodeDeploy, but you should consider things like pricing and what you want to achieve. 

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    Private Cloud

    If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

    Amazon Web Services (AWS)

    Automated rollback boosts productivity and efficiency
    Pros and Cons
    • "CodeDeploy is quite easy to use within the AWS ecosystem."
    • "There will always be room for improvement, however, I cannot think of any specific improvements at the moment."

    What is our primary use case?

    We use CodeDeploy to deploy services onto different platforms within AWS, such as EC2 services or containers like EKS, which is part of Kubernetes, or Elastic Container Services like ECS. This depends on the platform we wish to deploy on.

    How has it helped my organization?

    CodeDeploy has significantly impacted our internal productivity and made processes more efficient. The overall productivity has been great.

    What is most valuable?

    CodeDeploy is quite easy to use within the AWS ecosystem. The automated rollback feature stands out because it can kindly roll back to the previous version if a deployment fails. This feature is excellent.

    What needs improvement?

    There will always be room for improvement, however, I cannot think of any specific improvements at the moment.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using CodeDeploy for the same number of years as other AWS solutions, though the exact duration is not mentioned.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    CodeDeploy is stable.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    CodeDeploy is stable and scalable.

    What other advice do I have?

    I will recommend CodeDeploy easily. 

    Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would give it an eight.

    If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
