GitOps workflows have improved deployment visibility and now support confident rollbacks
In terms of improvement for Akuity Platform, I would say that the RBAC and multi-application setup takes time to configure correctly. When errors occur, it is difficult to determine what configuration error happened, requiring detailed analysis to understand what went wrong. I think detailed log analysis with Akuity Platform, especially regarding configuration failures, should be improved. If this is addressed, I would be pleased to learn about it, as it could significantly enhance the documentation.

Automated deployments have reduced downtime and now deliver faster, consistent releases
AWS CodeDeploy offers several valuable features, including deployment to fleets of EC2 servers, on-premises servers deployed to data center infrastructure, AWS Lambda for serverless function updates, and Amazon ECS for containerized applications. The feature I use most frequently is deployment to Amazon EC2 instances, where I deploy backend services to EC2 servers, enabling zero-downtime deployment. AWS CodeDeploy supports rolling updates, blue-green deployments, and canary deployments to minimize or eliminate downtime. Additional standout features include consistent deployments across environments, the ability to deploy to development, staging, and production environments, centralized control, integration with CI/CD pipelines, and automatic rollback. AWS CodeDeploy has positively impacted my organization by significantly reducing deployment times to achieve zero downtime during deployments. Generally, it takes very little time for backend services to be deployed to EC2 instances.
