AWS CodeStar Reviews & Product Details

Codestar provides strong features but mostly what you'd expect from AWS: decent version and project tracking. Obvious pros include easy connection to EC2, Lambda, and Elastic instances. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It lacks the adoption of Gitlab. AWS-centric, if you're using cross-platform services, pick another IDE. The time required to provision a new instance takes a while. It isn't suitable for smaller scopes. CodeStar would not be my choice for a team IDE unless I had to use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As this comes with inbuilt JIRA capability it becomes easy to manage the project Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have not found anything not so good or something to complain about in CodeStar. It works very well for what I consider to be a very complete AWS tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Why do I like CodeStar? Because it has a unique interface in which you can easily manage the development of applications, it also provides the opportunity to work in a team very safely and at the same time be able to follow the development of the projects in which you work and the best of this great software is that you only pay for what you use while you develop your applications Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have not found anything unfavorable in CodeStar works at a hundred percent for what I consider to be a very complete AWS tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm not sure if this review will target everyone using AWS Code Star as I am a nontechnical user. I dabble in coding for my product team but it's not my main priority role or what I spend most of my day on. Disclaimer aside, I've enjoyed using AWS Code Star. My team and I have found the templates pretty intuitive and straightforward. My Dev Ops colleagues have been loving it even more than I have! The process from starting a project at log in to choosing a template is fairly straightforward and relatively intuitive. We've also enjoyed the dashboard as a way to track our progress of our applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

To be totally honest, since I'm not as much of a main user of the platform I have a hard time navigating the code. Whether that's a flaw of AWS Code Star or myself is a good question lol. It has taken us quite a bit of time for our applications to get up and running, which is frustrating when we're looking to make quick decisions and fast projects.

Its amazing user interface enables me to easily manage my complete software development activities in one place including the continuous delivery toolchain which helps me in releasing my code faster to the production servers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is not platform independent and can be used only in AWS infrastructure. We use GCP and Azure in our office and there is no option to use CodeStar there. I also wanted AWS to provide a good peer review process into CodeCommit with an integration into CodeStar for better collaboration between my team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been using it for 2-3 years, it basically glue that kind of binds all the services together in one like codecommit which is managed code repo, you can easily connect it with JIRA, it's pricing are very transparent where each service is priced separately, it also offers free CodeCommit service for first 5 users and for codepipeline it's $1 per month, you can use it from dashboard as well as from CLI!!

Getting started is complicated, Not enough customization, CodeStar service needs to be mature enough!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Aws CodeStar is a very powerful tool. The best thing about CodeStar is how easy it is to use. It has everything required to create a project, issue tracking, repository, online IDE, and I can also set roles for teammates and assign them tasks. The best thing about AWS CodeStar is how it makes project development very interactive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AWS CodeStar is just amazing, until now there is nothing I dislike about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the best things is the way you can integrate with other Amazon tools, such as CodeCommit, Cloud9, EC2, etc. It is very easy to use and intuitive. You can set tasks for team members, give them access, assign roles, and there is also issue tracking. It is a very complete online IDE. Also, the way of deploying apps/websites couldn't be easier; with a few clicks, I can see my project running. The best of all is you can test all these tools on the free tier, which is just amazing.

It is very simple, but there is everything you need to manage a project, so there is nothing I dislike about this tool. If there is something you need, you can add it with external tools from AWS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Love that i don't need to download and install a ton of software on my laptop. In a few minutes, I can have a full cloud development environment wired up to a release pipeline. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Doesn't seem to be fully integrates with all of the AWS services. For example, if you create a lambda project with an API gateway, it will update changes you make to the lambda function, but not the gateway. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My overall experience with this product is positive. My data is well protected, and I have access to multiple templates to assist me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The one thing I dislike about this service is the lack of peer review. It would be nice to see a peer review offered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
