Introduction
AWS CodeStar is a service that helps to create, manage, and work with software development projects on AWS. This service helps you to quickly develop applications, build applications, and deploy applications on AWS. It is merely a team-ready with built-in roles for the members to allow collaboration between the viewers, owners, and contributors. And it helps simplify DevOps processes, and to do that, it brings multiple AWS DevOps Services under one roof.
CodeStar can have the benefits of following CI/CD services in AWS:
- AWS CodeBuild, for building the code.
