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.

Efficient integration of code changes with seamless private repository management

AWS CodeCommit is highly user-friendly. It doesn't require any complex authentication, which makes the process seamless. Deployments happen in a straightforward manner once the code is organized correctly in the repository. The platform allows the creation of private repositories, securing and restricting access to our team members only. This ensures that unauthorized users cannot access sensitive files. AWS CodeCommit also integrates well when we use it with Check Point allowing us to implement information in the criteria we need.

Pros

"The customer service is pretty good."

"AWS CodeCommit is simple and cheap."

"The customer service is pretty good."

"The customer service and support for AWS CodeCommit are excellent."

"The solution's most valuable feature is versioning."

"The solution scalable."

"AWS CodeCommit's user interface is nice, and it's easy for people to pick up."

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

More AWS CodeCommit pros

"Git is an easy-to-use solution that can be used for parallel working."

"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."

"The most valuable feature of Git is its reliability and user popularity."

"The implementation is easy."

"The most valuable feature of Git is the ease of tracking in time what the snapshot of the code was at a particular moment. The versioning is good."

"Git has a lot of online tutorials and resources available."

"The best thing about this solution is that it can be learned very quickly, and used very easily."

"The most valuable feature is having access to the local country repository even if we have problems with distance access."

More Git pros

Cons

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Migration in and out of CodeCommit should be improved."

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

"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."

"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."

"There is room for improvement in Insight Analytics."

More AWS CodeCommit cons

"If other people are included in their project, you're going to have to make merge requests to merge the code you made, and the code your colleagues have made. So it's a little bit complicated."

"In our company, we sometimes feel the need to have certain kinds of reports, but we never get those customized reports in Git's dashboard."

"Some challenges arise when Git is not used correctly, particularly in managing branches. It's easy to get lost, but these challenges can be overcome with proper management. A common advice is maintaining the repository and ensuring developers are in sync with the production branch. Branches should be promptly merged into development to avoid getting lost in many branches."

"I would like to see less updates with the product."

"It's not very user-friendly."

"In a future release, the user interface should be easier to use and more intuitive."

"The scalability could be better. I think it requires some discipline to have large teams working on the same project without facing problems merging code. I'm using Git for personal projects, but I know companies face merge conflicts when more than one person is working on code simultaneously."

"There is room for improvement in the pricing model of Git."

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."

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

"Git is free and you don't have to pay for it."

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

"This is an open-source solution, so there are no licensing fees associated with it, and no extra, 'hidden' charges."

"The platform is less expensive."

"We are using the open-source version, which is available free of charge."

"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."

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

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.
