Executive SummaryUpdated on Aug 14, 2024

Git and AWS CodeCommit compete in the version control and source code management category. AWS CodeCommit has the upper hand due to its integration and security features, yet Git's pricing and simplicity make it more appealing for some users.

Features: Git is appreciated for its straightforward version control, extensive community support, and broader range of integrations with various development tools. AWS CodeCommit users value its seamless integration with other AWS services, enhanced security features, and cloud-specific capabilities.

Room for Improvement: Git users often desire better support for large files, improved conflict resolution tools, and more native enterprise-level features. AWS CodeCommit users suggest enhancements in stability, an easier setup process, and better onboarding resources.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Git is known for its quick setup across multiple environments and responsive community-driven support. AWS CodeCommit provides a smoother experience within the AWS ecosystem but requires more thorough initial configuration. Customer support for AWS is robust, though some users find Git's community support faster for troubleshooting common issues.

Pricing and ROI: Git stands out with its free open-source nature, making it cost-effective for many. AWS CodeCommit incurs additional costs due to AWS service integration but offers greater value for users needing comprehensive cloud-based solutions. Git is favored for smaller teams and individual projects, whereas AWS CodeCommit demonstrates better return on investment for organizations heavily utilizing AWS infrastructure.

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

"AWS CodeCommit is highly user-friendly."

"What I find best about AWS CodeCommit is its seamless integration with the AWS ecosystem."

"The most valuable features of AWS CodeCommit include the least privilege access from IAM, where permissions are granted only for the specific repository the developer is working on, which allows for hundreds of repositories with controlled access per project."

"The solution is quite scalable."

"AWS CodeCommit has the usual version control features, and it integrates with AWS CodeGuru for code reviews."

"It helps us to install our code idea projects."

"AWS CodeCommit is much easier to use than Bitbucket. It doesn't require any personal password or these things. We just need to put in our AWS account password and username."

"AWS CodeCommit is simple and cheap."

More AWS CodeCommit pros

"I like Git's merging feature. For example, say there is an instance where I am working on the same code as another developer. Git automatically merges the work of two developers on the same file. If I'm working on line 50 and he's working on 60, and we both commit, it mergest automatically."

"The product protects our data."

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...Since I am a very simple user of the tool, its scalability is good for me."

"What I find the most valuable about Git is that it is CLI and GUI-supported. People who do not like using the CLI mode can use the GUI mode."

"Git is easy to use."

"Git offers the ability to roll back to the previous version. You can also track all the small changes that you do."

"I believe it is beneficial to maintain a detailed log or history of who did what to a project and which user committed to the change."

"Git is easy to manage...It is helpful for me and easy to manage the interface we are using from development to production."

More Git pros

Cons

"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."

"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."

"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."

"When I compare code, AWS has a cap on the file size, and that size is pretty small compared to what GitHub and GitLab provide."

"The tool should improve its UI."

"The solution could be more user-friendly and cheaper."

"Although CodeCommit's user interface is good, it can be improved when compared to other version controls like GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket."

More AWS CodeCommit cons

"I believe there is room for improvement in preventing work loss due to conflicts or overwriting. Another area for improvement could be implementing features for automated code verification within Git."

"Git is mostly command based and needs to have a helpful user interface."

"The UI can be more user-friendly."

"I would like to see an improvement in the way the product owner can review changes."

"More security is always welcome in my opinion."

"The solution could improve by having more customization."

"About the configuration it is a little bit difficult, it can be improved."

"Git's user interface could be improved."

More Git cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"AWS CodeCommit is competitively priced against all the other competitors."

"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."

"The solution is expensive."

"Git is an open-source software."

"There are some extra costs to Git, but it depends on your use case."

"As a student, I didn't have to pay for the license."

"The platform is less expensive."

"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."

"I am not required to pay due to the small number of users we have. We have a small user base, and we are not using the enterprise version."

"The tool is an open-source product."

"We use the open-source version."

Overview

AWS CodeCommit is a fully-managed source control service that hosts secure Git-based repositories. It makes it easy for teams to collaborate on code in a secure and highly scalable ecosystem. CodeCommit eliminates the need to operate your own source control system or worry about scaling its infrastructure. You can use CodeCommit to securely store anything from source code to binaries, and it works seamlessly with your existing Git tools.

Amazon Web Services (AWS)

Git is a free and open source distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency. Git is easy to learn and has a tiny footprint with lightning fast performance. It outclasses SCM tools like Subversion, CVS, Perforce, and ClearCase with features like cheap local branching, convenient staging areas, and multiple workflows.
