Overall Review Sentiment for AWS CodeBuild
Log in to view review sentiment.
When it comes to managing the provision, scalability and server resource handling, this platform has eliminated it all as it manages everything on demand. One of the best thing is it's capabilities to build the source code based on the yaml file we write has thrilled me due to its overwhelming compiling feature for the source code.

Aws CodeBuild has its own set of boundaries which brings unnecessary set of policies like for example if my source is out of aws codeCommit or github or S3 then it is quite tedious to set up the source while configuring codeBuild and it is quite poor with the UI for its console. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
1. Fully managed service that doesn't require any host or maintenance
2. It uses roles to access for accessing other AWS services which add an extra layer of security
3. Pre-configured environments are available for both docker and non-docker builds Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
1. UI is a bit complicated and confusing in terms of integration with CodePipeline
2. No plugins or addon available for custom builds
3. Takes too much time as compared to other tools Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Ability to spawn a build on-demand, via the API, CLI (aws codebuild), or the web console
Consistent performance across builds, with options for artifact caching etc.
Support for a wide range of source repositories: GitHub, CodeCommit, etc.
Ability to upload build artifacts directly to S3 or CodePipeline
Simple YAML-based build configuration with clear pre- and post-build actions
No maintenance cost or overhead; pay only for the duration of your individual builds! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
AWS Free Tier: https://aws.amazon.com/free/#AWS_CodeBuild_ only offers 100 minutes of build time per month, which means you'll have to allocate a budget if you integrate CodeBuild with any kind of frequently-invoked CI/CD
Private repositories are not fully supported yet (except for AWS-native CodeCommit)
Lacks flexibility as there is only a single build step (with a single container image); if you want to customize the steps you will probably need to create and host your own container image containing all the required utility programs/tools/commands. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
You are only charged when the builds are run and not for any resources standing by for a build request.
It's easy to integrate to a build process with github. And can fetch the build steps in the same repo when you specify a buildspec.yaml file.
Can be used as a way to run code that takes a lot of time to run and needs to be run sporadically.
Can be integrated to a jenkins environment as worker nodes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The user interface just got (since November of 2018) an overhaul and is not as bad as before.
When the build processes are created by a Cloudformation script the documentation to integrate with github is not very helpful and needs more detail.
There aren't many compute types options, right now you only chose from a set of 3:
- 2 GB Memory and 2 vCPU
- 4 GB Memory and 4 vCPU
- 15 GB Memory and 8 vCPU Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The tool was very easy to use... when I need it, without any previous knolodgment, I can config an entire pipeline with code commit, code pipeline and Code Buid and Code Deploy. I was great for to show In a live enviroment how can be a product, and how to deploy it continous Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The documententation is very large to read ... some time you have to read a lot in large documents with many technical descripticion about all availables options to solve a simple doubt. I would like that It could have a really simple demo about easy user cases Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The best thing about AWS code build the way how it help to make scalable projects, the price isn't too high, is so powerful and very easy to use, i use it with others AWS tool like AWS CodeStar, CodeCommit, AWS CLI, AWS console etc. which help me even more to do a effective management of projects, i can always monitoring my builds, time left, state, i can create triggers, and setup many build projects and only pay for what i use is just amazing tool, and i can customize my own environments.

The are only two things what i dislike about AWS build, there is only a free tier for windows, and not for linux, and there isn't preconfigured environment for C. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
