The default settings of AWS CodeDeploy are highly beneficial for my deployment workflows
I monitor our GitHub repository and integrate it with our database using Pipeline. By creating code builds and deployment scripts, I connect them to our EC2 instances for automatic execution upon code pushes. Our setup includes production and development branches, each serving different purposes…

Easy to set up with intuitive UI and good reliability
Most of our use cases are for continuous deployment. Basically, we would grab that package and deploy it to different adverse or intensive webs for our AKS spots. For continuous deployment, I'm using Octopus Deploy.  The solution is very easy to set up.  It is very stable.  We can scale the…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I can integrate it with other AWS services."
"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."
"I found the default settings of AWS CodeDeploy to be highly beneficial for my deployment workflows. For instance, when deploying a Node.js application, I manually installed the necessary components on my AWS instance, such as the web server required by developers. Then, I created deployment scripts for starting and stopping instances and performing the deployment itself. These scripts were stored alongside my code in GitHub, ensuring they executed seamlessly with the CI/CD pipeline. Since the project wasn't overly complex, I opted for the default settings, which proved to be efficient and straightforward for deployment."
"The product is easy to use."
"You can easily integrate AWS CodeDeploy with multiple services."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"It is very flexible."
"It's just like every other AWS resource I use. It gets the job done."
"The rollback feature has been most valuable. We can write scripts from scratch. Octopus maintains an independent package for every deployment."
"The UI is very intuitive."
"Deployment is valuable. It deploys well."
 

Cons

"The support and those things are lacking compared to others."
"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."
"Deployment and stability should be improved."
"I faced some stability issues."
"AWS CodeDeploy doesn't provide multiple plugins like Jenkins, which is a shortcoming where improvements are required."
"AWS should provide its own templates in the console so that I don't need to go anywhere else to get the template for AWS CodeDeploy or AWS CodeBuild."
"We have faced some issues and bugs along the way when it comes to stability."
"This solution could be improved by making it easier to divide variables in YAML file or JSON files."
"There could be scope for more integration with other platforms."
"You've got to jump through a few hoops to get some things configured, but if set up, you can do so many different things in it. So, there is complexity."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Since we are using a dedicated AWS environment, the solution's pricing is fine."
"It is costly."
"The product's price is normal."
"The product is free with EC2."
"AWS CodeDeploy has proven to be a cost-effective solution for us, especially considering the benefits we gain from using it. In terms of pricing, AWS is quite affordable, providing excellent value for the features and services it offers."
"I don't know the exact cost, but it's not exorbitant. It may be a couple of thousand dollars a year or something like that. I'm not sure, but it's reasonable. We get value for money out of it."
