Istiyak Ahmed - PeerSpot reviewer
Streamlined deployment through excellent integration with a straightforward setup
Our primary use case for CodePipeline involves deploying the different services, such as hosting a website on ECS or EC2 and deploying source code on container services or EC2 instances. We configure the source code with remote repositories like GitHub or Bitbucket, build the code, and store images…

Saves time for developers, which saves money for the company
We are using the Incredibuild agent to run multiple processes on all available cores. This is the improvement that we did. Instead of the machine's core doing task after task, it is now running on multiple machines. In my working environment, it is saving time for all our developers in regards to the time consumption of the builds. My team has four people who manage and interact with Incredibuild as a product.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"AWS CodePipeline has valuable integration features."
"I find performance to be the most valuable CodePipeline feature. It works perfectly and smoothly."
"AWS CodePipeline's most valuable feature is its seamless integration with other AWS services, making it easier to orchestrate deployment processes."
"The integration with other applications is fabulous."
"It helps develop CI/CD implementations with centralized management of code building, deployment, and version control."
"The integrations are good."
"Code deployment is the best feature."
"The most valuable feature of AWS CodePipeline is the flexibility of the configuration."
"It is saving time for developers, which is saving money for the company."
 

Cons

"While CodePipeline's UI has improved, further enhancements in user experience are necessary to make it more intuitive."
"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."
"The tool does not provide automated features for evidence collection."
"There could be a possibility of deploying tag-based conditions for different environments using the same code base."
"The solution could improve the documentation. Sometimes we have some issues with the documentation not updating after releasing .NET 6. We had some issues with building the code pipeline, and it was not updating the documentation. It's better to update the code documentation."
"The setup time is a bit long."
"I would appreciate if we don't have to install any agents, even for EC2, to deploy using CodeDeploy into EC2 servers. It would help if AWS allows application deployment without requiring the Fortify agent installation."
"Stability could be improved. I don't know the reason for the instability because there are no logs that help me to understand the problem."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is manageable."
"It is a straightforward approach where you pay for the resources you consume as they offer a subscription-based licensing model."
"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."
"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 product is quite expensive compared to other solutions."
"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."
"The price of the product depends on how many times you run it. The tool offers a pay-as-you-go model."
"Its pricing and licensing are annoying. Every year, I need to renew. If I miss the deadline date, all my processes will stop working. So, I would prefer that I wouldn't need to renew every year, instead have another solution for it. Or, if we could have an enterprise license agreement with the company, then the development team wouldn't need to spend time renewing licenses."
