Overview

• Fully managed, customizable build environment

• Continuous scaling, parallel build

How it work?

1. Create build environment

2. Download the src code to the build env

3. CodeBuild run the Build specs (buildspec.yml) to configure the build

4. Output is uploaded to S3

5. (optional) integrate with SNS to send successful message.

Build caching

You can save time when your project builds by using a cache. A cache can store reusable pieces of your build environment and use them across multiple builds.

S3 caching

A good option for small to intermediate sized build artifacts that are more expensive to build than to download.

This is not the best option for large build artifacts because they can take a long time to transfer over your network.

Local caching

A good option for intermediate to large build artifacts because the cache is immediately available on the build host.

You can use a Docker layer cache in the Linux environment only.

Pricing

Trivia

• A user can pause a build, use Session Manager to connect to the build container, and then resume the build.
