The default settings of AWS CodeDeploy are highly beneficial for my deployment workflows

There aren’t many improvements that can be made. In one of my projects, I initially didn't implement CodeDeploy directly. Instead, I stored my private key in Secret Manager and integrated it with my build spec to seamlessly work with GCP's Cloud Build. However, after using CodeDeploy, I haven't encountered any significant issues or areas that urgently need improvement. Overall, I'm quite satisfied with the features and functionality of AWS CodeDeploy.

Easy to set up with intuitive UI and good reliability

I haven't used support. Since it is on-prem, our tech support would manage to troubleshoot. There might have been instances where there have been some issues with the on-prem version that I don't know of. Our tech support may have touched base with the. However, I don't have that level of visibility.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

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

"You can easily integrate AWS CodeDeploy with multiple services."

"The product's initial setup phase is easy."

"I can integrate it with other AWS services."

"The most valuable features of AWS CodeDeploy are its integration with other AWS services to deploy applications."

"It is very flexible."

More AWS CodeDeploy pros

"Deployment is valuable. It deploys well."

"The UI is very intuitive."

"The rollback feature has been most valuable. We can write scripts from scratch. Octopus maintains an independent package for every deployment."

Cons

"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."

"The support and those things are lacking compared to others."

"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."

"Deployment and stability should be improved."

"We have faced some issues and bugs along the way when it comes to stability."

"AWS CodeDeploy's lack of ability to use independently without CodePipeline or CodeBuild makes it unstable."

"I faced some stability issues."

"AWS CodeDeploy doesn't provide multiple plugins like Jenkins, which is a shortcoming where improvements are required."

More AWS CodeDeploy cons

"There could be scope for more integration with other platforms."

"This solution could be improved by making it easier to divide variables in YAML file or JSON files."

"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

"The product's price is normal."

"Since we are using a dedicated AWS environment, the solution's pricing is fine."

"It is costly."

"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."
