Senior Software Developer Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 1/1/2025 "Straight forward CICD for AWS targets" 3.5/5 What do you like best about AWS CodePipeline? 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. What do you dislike about AWS CodePipeline? 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.
