Awesome CI tool for developers building their code on AWS **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Bishwesh P. | IT Administrator, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 11, 2018 **What do you like best about AWS CodeStar?** 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. **What do you dislike about AWS CodeStar?** 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. **Recommendations to others considering AWS CodeStar:** If you are building AWS native applications, look no further and use CodeStar instead of git and Jenkins. This is suited for AWS infrastructure and is available free of cost. Also, it is very easy to setup and in just a few clicks you should be all set. No deep technical expertise required. **What problems is AWS CodeStar solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use it to build fully native AWS development pipeline. Right from code commit to code build it integrates very well. There is no additional charge for using AWS CodeStar which makes it my favorite and I realize its cost-saving benefits. ### 3.
