CodePipeline
AWS CodePipeline automates continuous integration and continuous delivery for fast and reliable application and infrastructure updates. · AWS · DevOps & CI
Overview
AWS CodePipeline is a managed CI/CD service that helps automate build, test, and deployment phases for applications and infrastructure on AWS. The free tier allows one active V1-type pipeline per month, or 100 free V2-type action execution minutes per month, making it suitable for small teams or projects starting with AWS automation. It integrates natively with other AWS developer tools and supports custom actions, but additional pipelines or action minutes incur charges. CodePipeline is best for AWS-centric workflows and teams looking for a managed, scalable CI/CD solution.
Good fit
Use CodePipeline to automate CI/CD workflows for applications deployed on AWS or when integrating with other AWS services.
- AWS-centric teams
- Automated deployments
- Infrastructure as code workflows
Not a fit
Avoid if you need multi-cloud CI/CD or want to avoid AWS lock-in, or if your team already uses a different CI/CD platform.
- Multi-cloud environments
- Non-AWS deployments
- Preference for open-source CI/CD
