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.

Time savings have increased daily clients and improve revenue in my chiropractic practice
Technology is always improving, and putting new technology would be an improvement for my job. I feel fine with the actual platform. 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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"AWS CodePipeline does a very good job as compared to Jenkins."
"Another big advantage is observability."
"The product is a one-stop solution that you can use to integrate, deploy and host your application."
"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."
"The notification and approval approach in the production environment are very useful."
"AWS CodePipeline's most valuable feature is its seamless integration with other AWS services, making it easier to orchestrate deployment processes."
"The best thing about AWS CodePipeline is that we don't have to manage agents."
"It helps develop CI/CD implementations with centralized management of code building, deployment, and version control."
"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."
 

Cons

"While CodePipeline's UI has improved, further enhancements in user experience are necessary to make it more intuitive."
"It would be a much better tool if it could be made compatible with other cloud services as well since this is an area the product currently lacks."
"The migration process from one source code to another needs improvement."
"The support team’s response time must be improved."
"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."
"In the next release, I would like to see fewer timeout errors."
"From my perspective, some in-built capabilities could be enhanced."
"AWS CodePipeline is quite a simple tool mostly for management and creating automation."
"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."
 

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."
"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."
"I would rate the product's pricing a five out of ten."
"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."
"It is a straightforward approach where you pay for the resources you consume as they offer a subscription-based licensing model."
"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."
"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."
"The product is quite expensive compared to other solutions."
