Monitoring: AWS CodePipeline

AWS CodePipeline is a fully-managed continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) service that automates the building, testing, and deployment of your applications. It provides a seamless workflow that allows you to release new features, updates, and fixes to your applications quickly and reliably.

Why should you monitor AWS CodePipeline?

Fast feedback cycles are crucial for successful Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipelines for several reasons:

• Early detection of defects: By providing fast feedback, CI/CD pipelines can quickly identify and flag potential issues in code changes.
• Faster time to market: Fast feedback cycles enable developers to release changes more frequently and with more confidence.
• Improved quality: By catching defects early in the development process, fast feedback cycles enable teams to ensure that the final product is of higher quality and meets the needs of the end-users.

That’s why it is crucuial to monitor AWS CodePipeline.
