AWS Code Pipeline

Fully managed continuous delivery service that automates software release pipelines from source to deployment. Models your release workflow as stages and actions, letting you visualize and control the flow without provisioning servers.

Widely adopted by teams running workloads on AWS. Integrates with the broader AWS developer toolkit: CodeCommit, CodeBuild, CodeDeploy, ECS, Fargate, CloudFormation, and Lambda. Supports third-party sources like GitHub and Jenkins via prebuilt plugins, plus custom systems through an open source agent.

Key features:

• Pull source from CodeCommit, GitHub, ECR, or S3; run builds in CodeBuild; deploy via CodeDeploy, Elastic Beanstalk, ECS, or Fargate
• Declarative JSON pipeline definition for version control and templating
• Parallel execution of build, test, and deploy actions
• Lambda integration for custom logic at any stage
• IAM access control and SNS event notifications

Teams building on AWS use CodePipeline to automate releases from commit to production. Infrastructure-as-code workflows combine CloudFormation actions for provisioning with deployment actions. Serverless applications built with Lambda and API Gateway deploy through SAM integration. Jenkins or other CI systems can participate as custom actions for hybrid setups.
