Enables centralized code management but lacks modern CI/CD integrations
There is room for improvement in Apache Subversion, especially when comparing it with other version control systems such as GitHub or GitLab, where many improvements could be made. Improvements I would like to see in Apache Subversion include configurations, customizations, and functionalities such as those provided by GitHub Actions for immediate pipeline triggers, as well as the version controlling and CI/CD platform offered by GitLab. In future updates of Apache Subversion, I would like to see CI/CD integrations as well as build and deployment servers. The lack of latest features includes basic requirements such as pull requests, CI/CD platform integration, and artifact storage such as GitHub packages, which it does not offer.

Seamless integration enhances team collaboration and process efficiency
The Git interfaces in AWS CodeCommit definitely need work. When we migrated our payment processing system at Huntington, we found the web UI to be basic compared to GitHub and GitLab. Simple things such as viewing directory structures or browsing through commit history and pull request flow could use serious upgrades. We had to create workarounds for features that come standard elsewhere, such as automatically assigning reviewers based on code ownership and setting up required review templates. The search functionality is another pain point, as trying to find specific code across repositories is limited. At Walgreens, we had a large mono repo for our pharmacy services code, and developers constantly complained about how difficult it was to search through it effectively in AWS CodeCommit. I also wish it had better CI/CD visualization built in.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Apache Subversion is a scalable solution."
"I find the strong point of Apache Subversion to be that it is a centralized version control system, allowing us to keep our code repositories at a central server."
"We have developed automation to speed up common repetitive processes."
"AWS CodeCommit has the usual version control features, and it integrates with AWS CodeGuru for code reviews."
"The customer service and support for AWS CodeCommit are excellent."
"The most valuable feature of AWS CodeCommit is that it acts as a code repository with code versioning and approval features similar to those found on GitHub."
"The solution scalable."
"AWS CodeCommit is highly user-friendly."
"It helps us to install our code idea projects."
"The customer service is pretty good."
"AWS CodeCommit's user interface is nice, and it's easy for people to pick up."
 

Cons

"The most valuable feature is CLI."
"The lack of latest features includes basic requirements such as pull requests, CI/CD platform integration, and artifact storage such as GitHub packages, which it does not offer."
"Apache Subversion should be easier to use."
"Migration in and out of CodeCommit should be improved."
"There is room for improvement in how AWS CodeCommit handles mass changes, like Fortran, which is designed to make these alterations in a friendly manner across AWS requirements."
"Although CodeCommit's user interface is good, it can be improved when compared to other version controls like GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket."
"Not really that much stands out. I am using CodeCommit since my customer asked me to use it. It is just an appliance, and GitHub and GitLab can do a better job."
"There are some options in Bitbucket that are not available in AWS CodeCommit. For example, code reviewer. We can't add a code reviewer in AWS CodeCommit, and we can't fork the repository online. These are the two things that Bitbucket has, but the solution doesn't have. Also, Jira has a debugging option that AWS CodeCommit doesn't have. Another thing is that Bitbucket charges three dollars per month per user. Compared with AWS CodeCommit, that only charges one dollar per month. So, AWS CodeCommit is cheaper than Bitbucket. But it does not have enough features that Bitbucket has. Additionally, it will be good if you upload one video or documentation on how to use AWS CodeCommit for beginners. That will be more helpful. There you can add more details about pricing. There are not many details about pricing. Bitbucket has a table where they have mentioned everything in detail, like, what features for how much price, how much longer you can use and how many users can use."
"Although CodeCommit's user interface is good, it can be improved when compared to other version controls like GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket."
"Lately, it is turning out to be a little expensive. The market is preferring Azure because it offers resources at a much cheaper price."
"The number of users for AWS CodeCommit is generally less compared to other version control systems."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's price is good."
"The solution is expensive."
"As for pricing, you can add the table in detail. You can visit Bitbucket or refer to any other tools. There, you can see what is the difference between your pricing and other prices. You have only mentioned it in a single line. Other tools have been mentioned in a table format, like, how many users, premium, normal accounts, and other things."
"AWS CodeCommit is competitively priced against all the other competitors."
