The default settings of AWS CodeDeploy are highly beneficial for my deployment workflows
I monitor our GitHub repository and integrate it with our database using Pipeline. By creating code builds and deployment scripts, I connect them to our EC2 instances for automatic execution upon code pushes. Our setup includes production and development branches, each serving different purposes…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"AWS CodeDeploy operates on an on-demand basis. This means that you only pay for the exact duration of the deployment process. Whether it takes one minute, two minutes, or even longer, you're only charged for the time it takes to complete the deployment. You're not locked into paying for dedicated servers."
"I found the default settings of AWS CodeDeploy to be highly beneficial for my deployment workflows. For instance, when deploying a Node.js application, I manually installed the necessary components on my AWS instance, such as the web server required by developers. Then, I created deployment scripts for starting and stopping instances and performing the deployment itself. These scripts were stored alongside my code in GitHub, ensuring they executed seamlessly with the CI/CD pipeline. Since the project wasn't overly complex, I opted for the default settings, which proved to be efficient and straightforward for deployment."
"The product is easy to use."
"It is very flexible."
"You can easily integrate AWS CodeDeploy with multiple services."
"It's just like every other AWS resource I use. It gets the job done."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"The reports have been most valuable. We have created some dashboards allowing us to be able to check our teams, their progress, and mission plans."
"The pricing seems to be reasonable."
"The features of Azure Repos that we find most impactful are those related to source control management within our DevOps code management processes."
"My first impression of DevOps, after using Jira, is that it has a much better, more intuitive, and more user-friendly interface."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Azure DevOps are high-level protection. The protection is very important to the customers to prevent eavesdropping. eavesdropping is when a hacker tries to get into the solution. With this solution is it difficult for them to do it."
"Setting up Azure DevOps was straightforward. It's easy to use the default templates. Everything is under our control, so it's simple to implement new requirements."
"Two of the most valuable features include the integrated project management suite, which consolidates source code and project management in a single location, and its powerful reporting capabilities."
"The most valuable feature is the complete integration between test cases, pipelines, and issue management."
 

Cons

"We have faced some issues and bugs along the way when it comes to stability."
"Deployment and stability should be improved."
"I faced some stability issues."
"Improvements could be made to AWS CodeDeploy in terms of its agent's compatibility across different operating systems. Currently, there are instances where the agent may not work seamlessly with certain integrations, leading to issues with registering protocols on authorized servers."
"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."
"AWS CodeDeploy doesn't provide multiple plugins like Jenkins, which is a shortcoming where improvements are required."
"Reporting across multiple projects could be improved."
"The interface is very bad."
"Requirements management is an area that can be improved."
"They could provide clearer guidance on deployment practices for the product."
"With the query feature, we have to group items, so it becomes difficult for everyone to understand it. It's easier in JIRA, which has filters and other query options."
"The optimization feature in Microsoft Azure DevOps needs improvement. Control over multiple projects could also be improved."
"I would like to see more customization available to the administrator."
"I would like to see a bit more project tracking."
