Employs advanced deployment strategies and manages CI/CD workflow efficiently
Blue-green deployment has been incredibly beneficial for handling complex deployments in AWS CodePipeline. It allows me to test changes in an isolated environment before deploying them to the entire user base. Additionally, the CI/CD support provided by AWS simplifies the integration process by adding YAML files to projects, enabling AWS to manage the entire CI/CD workflow.

Automation has saved hours and now generates multiple mobile builds and store deployments daily
One of the best features is setting up multiple applications. The best feature is that we have a single code for multiple applications and multiple keystores for generating multiple applications and multiple APKs. Bitrise has the support to use multiple keystores, by which we can generate multiple unique applications and deploy them directly to the Play Store. Bitrise is positively impacting our organization by saving manual effort—saving two hours of every developer effort. In Android, it saves two hours, but in iOS, when we are generating the iOS build, it takes more than an hour. With Bitrise, as a team of 10 to 12 people, we are able to independently generate the build and save overall 20 to 40 hours per day. If a developer saves two hours of time, he can spend these two hours on any particular feature or any CRS completion. We just need to go to Bitrise and generate the build, and the build will create in parallel while I can complete my work on my local system.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"In AWS, the Cloud DevOps is a managed service from CodeCommit and this has removed the need for a lot of manual steps."
"The notification and approval approach in the production environment are very useful."
"Another big advantage is observability."
"The integrations are good."
"The tool's recent version helps us to run pipelines in parallel. The integration with other AWS services has greatly impacted our use of AWS CodePipeline. It made tasks such as integrating with Jira and provisioning instances much easier."
"Blue-green deployment has been incredibly beneficial for handling complex deployments in AWS CodePipeline as it allows me to test changes in an isolated environment before deploying them to the entire user base."
"The best thing about AWS CodePipeline is that we don't have to manage agents."
"AWS CodePipeline has valuable integration features."
"With Bitrise, as a team of 10 to 12 people, we are able to independently generate the build and save overall 20 to 40 hours per day."
 

Cons

"It would be best if AWS CodePipeline provided multiple integration options directly by providing some URLs."
"AWS CodePipeline doesn't offer much room for customization."
"The migration process from one source code to another needs improvement."
"If there are many dependancies involved in the setup, it may take a long time."
"While CodePipeline's UI has improved, further enhancements in user experience are necessary to make it more intuitive."
"If you're talking about multi-cloud, you can't use it."
"The setup time is a bit long."
"The tool does not provide automated features for evidence collection."
"Bitrise has to work more on the error part. Sometimes I face issues when I trigger a build to generate, and I get a build failed without getting the proper log, which sometimes makes the user too annoyed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the product depends on how many times you run it. The tool offers a pay-as-you-go model."
"The product is quite expensive compared to other solutions."
"The pricing is manageable."
"Compared to other cloud services, AWS CodePipeline falls a bit more on the pricey side. I see that the price of the product has been increasing for the past few years."

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