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

"The product is easy to use."

"I can integrate it with other AWS services."

"CodeDeploy is quite easy to use within the AWS ecosystem."

"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."

"It is very flexible."

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

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

"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."

More AWS CodeDeploy pros

"The UI is very intuitive."

"Deployment is valuable. It deploys well."

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

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."

"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."

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

"I faced some stability issues."

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

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

"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

"It is costly."

"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."

"The product's price is normal."

"The product is free with EC2."

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

"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."
