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

"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."
"Another big advantage is observability."
"AWS CodePipeline's most valuable feature is its seamless integration with other AWS services, making it easier to orchestrate deployment processes."
"I prefer using CodePipeline and CodeBuild in AWS due to their integration with AWS services, like directly deploying to ECS using Cloud Deploy."
"The management of CodeBuild and CodeDeploy on a three-point trigger basis is an important feature."
"Code deployment is the best feature."
"I find performance to be the most valuable CodePipeline feature. It works perfectly and smoothly."
"It is saving time for developers, which is saving money for the company."
 

Cons

"AWS CodePipeline works effectively, and I haven't identified any specific areas needing improvement as it has been quite satisfying in terms of deployment needs."
"In the next release, I would like to see fewer timeout errors."
"The setup time is a bit long."
"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."
"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."
"Improved enhancements and features could make it more intuitive."
"If you're talking about multi-cloud, you can't use it."
"AWS CodePipeline doesn't offer much room for customization."
"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

"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 price of the product depends on how many times you run it. The tool offers a pay-as-you-go 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 offers free business or enterprise support services."
"The product is quite expensive compared to other solutions."
"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 pricing is manageable."
"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."
