AWS CodeCommit vs GitBucket: What are the differences?

AWS CodeCommit: Fully-managed source control service that makes it easy for companies to host secure and highly scalable private Git repositories. CodeCommit eliminates the need to operate your own source control system or worry about scaling its infrastructure. You can use CodeCommit to securely store anything from source code to binaries, and it works seamlessly with your existing Git tools; GitBucket: The easily installable Github clone powered by Scala. GitBucket provides a Github-like UI and features such as Git repository hosting via HTTP and SSH, repository viewer, issues, wiki and pull request.

AWS CodeCommit and GitBucket belong to "Code Collaboration & Version Control" category of the tech stack.

Some of the features offered by AWS CodeCommit are:

  • Collaboration
  • Encryption
  • Access Control

On the other hand, GitBucket provides the following key features:

  • Public / Private Git repository (http and ssh access)
  • Repository viewer and online file editing
  • Repository search (Code and Issues)

"Free private repos" is the primary reason why developers consider AWS CodeCommit over the competitors, whereas "Self hosted" was stated as the key factor in picking GitBucket.

GitBucket is an open source tool with 7.73K GitHub stars and 1.06K GitHub forks. Here's a link to GitBucket's open source repository on GitHub.

According to the StackShare community, AWS CodeCommit has a broader approval, being mentioned in 25 company stacks & 17 developers stacks; compared to GitBucket, which is listed in 3 company stacks and 6 developer stacks.

Advice on GitBucket, AWS CodeCommit

Needs adviceonBitbucketBitbucketJenkinsJenkinsJiraJira

Hi, I need advice. In my project, we are using Bitbucket hosted on-prem, Jenkins, and Jira. Also, we have restrictions not to use any plugins for code review, code quality, code security, etc., with bitbucket. Now we want to migrate to AWS CodeCommit, which would mean that we can use, let's say, Amazon CodeGuru for code reviews and move to AWS CodeBuild and AWS CodePipeline for build automation in the future rather than using Jenkins.

Now I want advice on below.

  1. Is it a good idea to migrate from Bitbucket to AWS Codecommit?
  2. If we want to integrate Jira with AWS Codecommit, then how can we do this? If a developer makes any changes in Jira, then a build should be triggered automatically in AWS and create a Jira ticket if the build fails. So, how can we achieve this?
