"Simple and effective online IDE"

3/5

What do you like best about AWS CodeStar?

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.

What do you dislike about AWS CodeStar?

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.

Recommendations to others considering AWS CodeStar:

Prepare to learn a more complex solution than necessary to leverage AWS services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AWS CodeStar solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's just another online IDE, which a heavy focus on using AWS services for content and platform delivery. I prefer Gitllab. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Perspective of a Non-Technical User"

4/5

What do you like best about AWS CodeStar?

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.

What do you dislike about AWS CodeStar?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering AWS CodeStar:

Worth a try for sure! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AWS CodeStar solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are using AWS Code Star primarily for Dev Ops purposes. As a manager, I dabble in reviewing these though I am not necessarily a main user of A W S Code Star. A major benefit we've realized is being able to deploy the app anywhere we want, though being locked in to using AWS for everything could be a potential downside.

"Awesome CI tool for developers building their code on AWS"

4.5/5

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

4.5/5

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.
