AWS CodeBuild vs. AWS CodeDeploy

It is really good for building projects in the cloud. If you try to do build the project first locally and then push that stack to the cloud it could take a lot of time. In this way, it also consumes a lot of resources in the computer and in the network.

For greenfield projects built on AWS there are very few reasons why not to choose AWS CodeDeploy. It works out of the box and integrates seamlessly into your cloud environment. If you plan to migrate your existing legacy builds away e.g. from Jenkins, you may need to reserve a substantial amount of time for that and the benefits gained may not be worth the effort.

• Customization
• Do code builds within a schedule or when the source code changes
• Only pay for the build time used

Incentivized

• Automate to deploy to AWS cloud environments
• Maximize application availability during product deployment
• AWS CodeDeploy provides CLI or web management console which can be viewed or edited at any environment

• Sometimes it runs an outage and developers don't know why. We have to contact DevOps most of the time.
• Sometimes it is slow

Incentivized

• When deploying a branch, sometimes the repository won't auto-populate, and you have to add the source manually

AWS CodeBuild provides the option to fully implement the build in the cloud without wasting your local resources (computer and network) providing independence to developers to invest those resources in other processes. It also provides a robust platform with a lot of customizations or just a script for each language.

Jenkins supports a lot of plugings. Also with Jenkins, it is possible to manage everything through our own server. Those are 2 points where I rate Jenkins as one of the best DevOps Tool

• It has a positive ROI

• 1-2 months per year of working time was saved from administration compared to on-prem legacy solution.
• Teams can trust more on the CI/CD pipeline and the deployments are faster, so the teams can deploy 10-15% more often compared to on-prem legacy solutions.
• Developers tend to desire more bells and whistles than CodeDeploy can offer, there has been some critique but this can be seen also as "editor war" (everyone has their opinion).
