AWS CodePipeline Reviews & Product Details

AWS CodePipeline integrates great with many AWS services. It is very simple to setup a deployment pipeline starting with a code repository (Popular ones like GitHub, GitLab etc. are supported using Code connections). Custom deployment logics can be implemented using CodeBuild images rading specs from either the source repository itself, or commands embedded to the CodeBuild project itself.

There are options for seamless no-script deployment using CodeDeploy (Good for S3, ECS etc.). Pricing is also good in CodePipeline V1) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CodePipeline V1

- Lack of support of dynamic variables at pipeline level. E.g. Dynamic code repo branch name.

- Lack of APIs to track the proper progress for a particular execution of pipeline. (Cannot get stage by stage tracking using AWS APIs)

- Does not provide a built in option to make the pipeline execution progress accessible externally (E.g, in GitHub.)

CodePipeline V2

- Pricing (Cost proportional to the total execution time of the pipeline doesn'tmakes sense when there is already other costs associated with underlying resources (e.g. CodeBuild) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The options of various tools and services to integrate with my pipeline like S3, lambda, eventbridge, codebuild etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its difficult to setup a cross account pipeline setup, like if i want to keep my codebase in one account and rest resources on another AWS account. Which makes it very lengthy process to setup that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best things about the AWS Code pipeline are -

--> More secure as switched from GitHub actions because of the security concerns raised.

--> It worked both ways for us in solo and with Smooth integration with source code present in GitHub and other AWS services

--> Debugging becomes smooth because of cloud watch logs to check what causes the error and make it easy for implementation of those.

--> Notifications and alerts with SNS are very easy to use without much hassle.

--> Great Visibility with different pipeline stages makes frequently used AWS Serive for DevOps Workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We sometimes find it tricky to deal with the AWS Code pipeline or other AWS DevOps tools because of the IAM policy and the role we attach to it.

It requires time and effort to work around it not just as easy and beginner-friendly as the EC2 instance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I liked the user-friendly nature of the platform. The deployments' ststus can be easily viewed from the Execution history. AWS Code Pipelines has many configuration interfaces to a variety of other AWS services, which are more convenient in order to automate our cloud processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AWS Code Pipelines gas more advantage when we use them for Software updates, etc. But there are few alternatives available in the market like Jenkins, which are Open source but the features are limited. So we have to decide before opting for any service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Seamless Integration and Best-in-Class Automation

Excellent automation features provided by AWS CodePipeline have substantially improved our software delivery process. One outstanding feature is its easy connection with a variety of AWS services, including source code repositories, build providers, and deployment targets. By removing manual interventions and lowering the possibility of errors, this connection enables a quick and effective flow of our product releases. We have saved a significant amount of time and effort by being able to automate the entire workflow, which has allowed us to concentrate more on innovation and providing high-quality applications to our users.

Flexibility and Customization Could Use Some Work

There are a few areas where AWS CodePipeline might use more customization and flexibility, despite the fact that it offers a reliable and strong solution for automating software delivery. The requirement for more sophisticated customization choices within the visual pipeline builder is one issue. Although it has a user-friendly interface, giving actions and stages more precise control would make it easier to adapt the pipeline to particular needs. CodePipeline interfaces with AWS services without a hitch, however it might benefit from broadening its integration possibilities with well-known third-party tools and services to offer better flexibility in various development contexts.

seamless integration with other AWS services, flexibility in defining custom workflows, support for various source code repositories, and the ability to automate the build, test, and deployment processes. It also provides a visual representation of the pipeline, making it easy to understand and monitor the entire delivery process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform may be perceived as having limitations in terms of advanced customization options compared to certain standalone CI/CD tools Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Codepipeline is the best Full managed continuous software delivery service which helping to automate the process and it is very fast and reliable service. I like that i get the new features quickly about the software and it is giving a good quality of services to me. And as we know that we only pay for what we using in real time.

Nothing i dislike about the Codepipeline as it depends upon the user actions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As of my experience AWS developer tools gives us scalability to work seamless in cloud infrastructure and integration for complex application and security like authentication and authorisation and also provide us to monitoring Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

According to me if a user new in AWS he does not understand easily of AWS configuration it's little bit hard and cost management one of the point I dislike about AWS developer tools Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is vital for DevOps infrastructure. The interface is intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The costs start to pile up as you add more storage and capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy integration with the AWS ecosystem. It can seamlessly work with other AWS services such as EC2, Lambda and S3.

Consistent performance in terms of scalability and reliability.

Supports multiple programming languages, platforms and frameworks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Increased application complexity involving multiple moving parts.
