"The time is also reduced because the manual work has tremendously decreased. We just have to click one button, and it will create everything for us.""The orchestration, building the release, and then just executing it and managing that pipeline — the orchestration capabilities are great for that.""The solution can apply one template across multiple applications.""The most valuable feature of Digital.ai Release is its ability to communicate with various deployment systems, such as XLD and batch deployments, as well as integrate with tools, such as Flyway and Bamboo. We use Bamboo as our build orchestrator, and Digital.ai Release also integrates with Jira, another Atlassian solution. These capabilities make it a powerful tool for managing workflow, test automation, and other processes."

Cons
"The deployment fails sometimes.""They can further improve the integration of the Bitbucket for CodeBuild.""While working on building images for multiple applications within a single script, I encountered an issue where looping functionality was not supported as expected.""There is no persistent storage or preservation of workspace between the builds."

More AWS CodeBuild Cons →

"Digital.ai Release could improve by having a better plugin that works with Guardian that we use for mainframe migrations. If there could be an interface or plugin for Guardian that would be beneficial.""Currently, we put artifact details manually. What we could improve, in our case, is the deployment instruction base. Developers input all the information, including which artifact and where it needs to be deployed. What Digital.ai could do is automatically go to the deployment instruction page, take those artifact details, and implement them.""The backfill could be improved, we could automate that. Right now it's subjective — it's up to the lead developer's memory to remember to backfill.""The solution is a little bit expensive."

You can get started quickly by using prepackaged build environments, or you can create custom build environments that use your own build tools. With CodeBuild, you are charged by the minute for the compute resources you use.
