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.

Collaboration and setup efficiency stand out, though integration and local support need improvement
The solution is excellent for collaboration. From the agility point of view, they have very good sprint functionality, allowing you to set up sprints effectively. For Scrum teams, it is particularly good and easy to set up. With respect to sprints and getting metrics out, such as velocity and related measurements, the functionality is robust. The Scrum boards are particularly effective. Based on my colleague's exploration and setup, I observed how easily the team was able to use it. The integration with that tool was particularly helpful.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's just like every other AWS resource I use. It gets the job done."
"The product is easy to use."
"CodeDeploy is quite easy to use within the AWS ecosystem."
"I appreciate the feature for automating the deployment of code to the server."
"The biggest feature of AWS CodeDeploy is its scalability."
"I can integrate it with other AWS services."
"CodeDeploy is very stable. I rate it a 10 for stability."
"One advantage we have with AWS CodeDeploy is its hassle-free accessibility through IAM roles and permissions, allowing us to give specific permissions while adhering to the least privileges rule of IAM."
"With some of the other tools, you have to buy 20 different plugins to get to the same capability that comes with the basic Agility capability."
"Agility is highly flexible. It can do much more than what our client is doing with it. They use it in a defined way. Some at that company have a much broader knowledge of agile and SAFe, but they're given applications and a mandated way to work. We had to work within their parameters and provide an accurate transition so the data would be mapped and pushed through."
"It can generate reports showing a burndown chart, burnup chart, and the planned vs actual velocity."
"It allows my clients to have one central tool to manage their agile projects."
"For visualization capabilities, the automation capabilities make it possible to support the different personas. The features and capabilities are excellent and come with excellent support."
"The solution is excellent for collaboration; from the agility point of view, they have very good sprint functionality, allowing you to set up sprints effectively."
 

Cons

"There will always be room for improvement, however, I cannot think of any specific improvements at the moment."
"AWS CodeDeploy's lack of ability to use independently without CodePipeline or CodeBuild makes it unstable."
"AWS CodeDeploy doesn't provide multiple plugins like Jenkins, which is a shortcoming where improvements are required."
"The documentation could be more detailed, especially for new users."
"The support and those things are lacking compared to others."
"AWS should provide its own templates in the console so that I don't need to go anywhere else to get the template for AWS CodeDeploy or AWS CodeBuild."
"I faced some stability issues."
"The documentation could be more detailed, especially for new users."
"The machine learning features are a new capability but could be improved. This is being worked by Digital.ai currently. Multicolor simulation, specifically, could be improved."
"The user interface can be improved by adding Save, Edit, Add, Cancel, and Return buttons to the popup windows that are displayed when you click on a child item."
"There is room for improvement in getting the analytics portion of the solution more integrated with the rest of it."
"It was not supporting some plugins. We wanted to migrate data that we were already using."
"In my work as a contractor, it's always frustrating when a client has multiple software applications that don't talk to each other and they all perform the same function. That presents a huge challenge between their IT groups."
"Improve how to create and track releases. Currently, I have to create child projects."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is costly."
"The product's price is normal."
"Since we are using a dedicated AWS environment, the solution's pricing is fine."
"AWS CodeDeploy has proven to be a cost-effective solution for us, especially considering the benefits we gain from using it. In terms of pricing, AWS is quite affordable, providing excellent value for the features and services it offers."
"The product is free with EC2."
"You get what you pay for. Don't let your development teams dictate what the portfolio management team should use as the main tool."
"Comparing the pricing to other products, I think this solution is in the middle."
