JR
Head of Development at Abyss
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.
RS
Senior Technical Lead at HCLSoftware
Managing complex code branches has been challenging but has improved team collaboration
Depot needs improvement as it was stable but also very slow. Depot's slow speed arises when we perform different integrations. On the positive side, it provides mono-repo scalability, meaning it can handle multiple users at any given time without crashing, which is a strong point. Depot should be improved for remote work because it functions poorly in that regard. Depot's branching style is also poor and could be improved. There is a steep learning curve that makes it difficult for people who previously worked on decentralized systems to adapt. It would be beneficial if Depot could become more similar to Git.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Different applications can be enhanced with AWS CodePipeline"
"CodePipeline allows integration with any source code and facilitates deployment to EC2 or ECS, which is highly valuable."
"The solution is pretty stable and it's a perfect solution if you are just using AWS."
"The management of CodeBuild and CodeDeploy on a three-point trigger basis is an important feature."
"I prefer using CodePipeline and CodeBuild in AWS due to their integration with AWS services, like directly deploying to ECS using Cloud Deploy."
"The product is a one-stop solution that you can use to integrate, deploy and host your application."
"It helps develop CI/CD implementations with centralized management of code building, deployment, and version control."
"I find performance to be the most valuable CodePipeline feature. It works perfectly and smoothly."
"Depot has positively impacted my organization in an awesome way, and the fact that I can save time gives me the possibility to have more clients during the day, saving at least 20% each day because of Depot."
"Depot has positively impacted my organization by helping us manage our code better where multiple developers are working on the system."
"Depot has positively impacted our organization by ensuring that everything works fully, which makes other clients really happy."
 

Cons

"AWS CodePipeline functions well, but there's room for improvement in providing technical support to regular customers who haven't purchased developer support. I mean, having it available for everyone, even if it's not a 24-hour service. It would be more useful if specific support hours were available for assistance."
"The migration process from one source code to another needs improvement."
"Improved enhancements and features could make it more intuitive."
"The setup time is a bit long."
"The product’s pricing needs improvement."
"In AWS CodePipeline, we can only use certain tools for which AWS provisions plugins."
"The tool does not provide automated features for evidence collection."
"The support team’s response time must be improved."
"However, they need improvement with older servers due to storage space issues, which prevents me from giving a perfect score of ten."
"Depot is a useful tool and there is space for improvement, but I can't figure out what can be done, which is why I chose eight out of ten."
"Depot needs improvement as it was stable but also very slow."
 

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 pricing is manageable."
"AWS offers free business or enterprise support services."
"AWS CodePipeline is quite affordable. I've been running around four pipelines and the cost is around one dollar per month. It rarely exceeds two dollars."
"The pricing of this solution is dependent upon your needs including how many jobs you daily and how many times the developer will be changing codes and completing deployments."
"It is a straightforward approach where you pay for the resources you consume as they offer a subscription-based licensing model."
"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."
"AWS charges you based on the number of pipelines you have and how active they are, and I also think that the root account user knows about all the price-related metrics."
