AWS CodePipeline Room for Improvement
There is limited room for tuning beyond the timeouts, memory, or CPU allocations. Sometimes, we need to take some screenshots of the results. The tool does not provide automated features for evidence collection. We must manually modify them to place them in S3 buckets and configure them.

Based on my experience, I would say that AWS CodePipeline should be more like a tool that is not limited to AWS. 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 improvement I would like to see in AWS CodePipeline to support our company's CI/CD pipeline needs is possible if AWS resolves the multi-cloud compatibility issue in the tool currently.
The support team’s response time must be improved.
View full review »The only area in my opinion that needs to be improved is the time between build and deployment. AWS should improve build time. We wait up to seven minutes for deployment.
In the next release, I would like to see fewer timeout errors.

Since we are very price-conscious, we would like the solution to be cheaper. If it was, we would use it more.
CodePipeline is not an option for us at all, as CodePipeline is strictly tied to AWS and we have workloads on Azure and Google. We don't want our workloads to be running from source code that is running in AWS. That's why we prefer on-prem for source code with Terraform and GitHub and then use that to deploy across the cloud. That's our approach.
There could be a possibility of deploying tag-based conditions for different environments using the same code base similar to GitHub. Implementing tag-based conditions in the build spec file is possible, but the process can be simpler. They could provide this tagging functionality in the UI itself. The users could decide pipeline triggers based on the predefined rules.
View full review »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.
View full review »The product could be integrated easily with other platforms, such as GitHub. The migration process from one source code to another needs improvement. It should support different codes and tools.
View full review »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.
In a future release, they should improve the UX and add some additional features.
