Verdict
AWS Developer Tools is the best fit for AWS-native teams because CodePipeline and CodeBuild deploy into AWS with IAM permissions and no separate accounts, keeping the pipeline inside one billing and security boundary.
What customers praise
Deep AWS service and IAM integration plus pay-per-use pricing means no idle runner costs for teams already on AWS.
What customers criticise
The tooling is basic next to dedicated platforms, the developer experience is fragmented across services, and it assumes an AWS-only world.
Best for
Teams deeply committed to AWS that want native, pay-per-use CI/CD wired directly into IAM and other AWS services.
