Compared to any other tools, AWS products provide better integrations. We have tools for all our needs. The integrations are good. The product is a fully managed service. We specify the various stages in the CI/CD process. We can do it without any external tools. Going through everything is usually an overhead for developers. It is like a configuration. We need to configure it only once. The integration with other AWS services has helped us. Our life as a developer is easy. We need not focus on the integration manually. If we work with third-party tools, we must consider connectivity, role management, security, authentication, and authorization. In AWS CodePipeline, if we have IAM roles configured and KMS for the credentials, we need not worry about anything else. Everything can be done within the tool. The integrations are the best part. We can track everything. The connectivity and scalability are good. The architecture is also flexible enough. We can add multiple things.

We use the solution to deploy different applications and connect third-party APIs to various projects. I commonly use the Jenkins CI/CD pipeline. I've used it to set up servers.

I have not thought about what needs improvement in the tool, but as of now, I am good with the tool. I am satisfied with the tool's performance, and I never came across any feature that it doesn't have. Whenever the customer requires something from the tool, all the features are present in AWS CodePipeline. If there is any option available in AWS CodePipeline that can offer integration with different products like SonarQube instead of just having to provide some URLs to our customers, then that would be great. It will make it easy for the integration of code analysis, and things can be done easily. I want to see more integration options. The industry doesn't go for paid versions, like CodeGuru, and some of the industries expect us to implement or integrate their tools with free products like SonarQube, which is supposed to provide a very free and basic structure. One would rather go for SonarQube rather than CodeGuru or other such tools. It would be best if AWS CodePipeline provided multiple integration options directly by providing some URLs.

Key learnings from peers

Valuable Features

"Another big advantage is observability."
"The best thing about AWS CodePipeline is that we don't have to manage agents."
"The solution's technical support responds whenever you have an issue, especially whenever you need something sorted out from their side."

Room for Improvement

"From my perspective, some in-built capabilities could be enhanced."
"In AWS CodePipeline, we can only use certain tools for which AWS provisions plugins."
"One downside in AWS is that when you attempt to push a change in, it misses that part, or it could be because some variables are not set correctly."

Pricing

"The pricing is manageable."
"AWS charges you based on the number of pipelines you have and how active they are, and I also think that the root account user knows about all the price-related metrics."
"The price of the product depends on how many times you run it. The tool offers a pay-as-you-go model."

These insights are based on the in-depth reviews provided by peers to help you make a better buying decision.
