AWS CodePipeline Reviews & Product Details

Console access to CodePipeline makes it easy to build your pipeline for the first time. (Of course, one can use APIs later on.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Should have some ready templates for common use cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability the integrate every step of the build/deploy process with automatic triggers based on code commits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the build process can be cumbersome to set up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You have a great level of control over how you setup your release pipeline. It's running on AWS tried and tested and ever improving infrastructure and is a fantastic tool if you're stack is primarily in AWS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is nothing "revolutionary" and doesn't really add anything new to the pipeline setups I had already in place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

need to support more services Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is capable of running any platform, has scale-ability that is on par or better than the competitors. Also its integration with Github and other third party vendors allows us to use exactly what we need when we need it. You only pay for what you use, which is unique in the space. It is inside the Amazon space, allowing us to integrate our A3 instance as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Interface is a little confusing, but updates are very consistent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The set of advertised features and versatility was useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It didn't allow me to connect to any GitHub repositories that belonged to organizations. It only allowed me to connect to my own personal repos, which really limited the utility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AWS codepipeline is the best full code development stack system out there. All structures can be developed using the pipeline. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is an expert level code repository and you have to have some experience to know what to do with the information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The versatility and the options available are great Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The user interface could be better in my opinion Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Codepipline is a bit under-rated, because most people don't have the need for such a programmable CD tool. Every facet of the build pipeline can be configured, and cans end notifier events via AWS SQS. When you're already doing much through AWS, it can reduce hassle to maintain all of your ops code in one place.

I haven't seen other CD tools have this much programmability — and even where they may, I still hesitate at have too many things in too many disparate places. Also, CodePipeline as a full command-line interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There really is nothing user-friendly about it, when you compare it to tools like CodeShip or Ansible. CodePipeline is a 'programmers tool' — and so it lacks the 'ease' of interacting with it, which other tools have. Consider that every functionality of CodePipeline has a command-line equivalent.

When I've built things for smaller shops, it would be too much to hand-off to less-skilled engineers. This is also the case in medium-size companies, where there are enough smart people to do big things, but not enough of them to 'retune the engine regularly.' Even in a company with ~100 engineers, the ops group was small enough that CodePipeline was a bit much to setup and maintain with a complex build that involved a large tree of dependencies. In that particularly case, GoCD provided more up-front UI. It really comes down to what kind of people you have.

As with most AWS products, support is costly or hard to come by (unless you in a city that has an AWS Loft) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
