What do you like best about AWS CodePipeline?

CodePipeline allowed us to seamlessly manage multiple complex Jira Data Center application environments.

Blue/Green CodeDeploy feature combined with support for application load balancing, which allows you to move changes in and out of application clusters so you can you can maintain zero down time deployments.

CodeBuild supports my Atlassian Bitbucket Cloud that is linked to my Jira Agile product development applications and was easy to setup and configure. I am able to link my Atlassian DevOps suite with my AWS computing environments. It works in conjunction with the Bitbucket Cloud Pipeline feature.

CodeDeploy also support CloudFormation templates so you can manage entire environments along with your deploys of code to application servers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS CodePipeline?

Some initial configuration and setup challenges with roles and policies. The pipeline creation process had problems going between CodePipeline and CodeBuild when creating objects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AWS CodePipeline?

1. AWS Codepipeline, helps to automate the build, test, release and deploy of the applications written in any language to cloud hosted services or on-premise services.

2. I really love the Infra as Code being compatible with Codepipeline. It integrates the best with Terraform.

3. Unlike other open source CICD tools, CodePipeline need not be installed. AWS provides agents to carry out build & release operations.

4. Like the other CI CD providers, AWS CodePipeline do provide many features to carry out the DevOps operations.

5. Some DevOps Engineers work with YAML files to carryout pipeline operations. AWS CodePipeline supports the YAML files too.

6. Great to use when there are multi cloud deployments for the same application code.

7. When it is the AWS SaaS itself the deployment platform, instead of moving out in search of other CI CD tools, AWS CodePipeline can help to carry out such operations without exposing the keys outside. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS CodePipeline?

Debugging is a bit tedious and complex job. AWS can and should bring in more functionalities where pipelines can have better UI and a Dashboard would surely be welcomed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
