AWS CodeBuild vs Octopus Deploy: What are the differences?

Developers describe AWS CodeBuild as "Build and test code with continuous scaling". AWS CodeBuild is a fully managed build service that compiles source code, runs tests, and produces software packages that are ready to deploy. With CodeBuild, you don’t need to provision, manage, and scale your own build servers. On the other hand, Octopus Deploy is detailed as "Automated deployment for .NET". Octopus works with your build server to enable reliable, secure, automated releases of ASP.NET applications and Windows Services into test, staging and production environments, whether they are in the cloud or on-premises.

AWS CodeBuild and Octopus Deploy are primarily classified as "Continuous Integration" and "Deployment as a Service" tools respectively.

Some of the features offered by AWS CodeBuild are:

  • Fully Managed Build Service
  • Continuous Scaling
  • Enables Continuous Integration

On the other hand, Octopus Deploy provides the following key features:

  • Deploy on-premises or to the cloud, securely
  • Built for .NET developers
  • Configuration and scripting

"Pay per minute" is the top reason why over 4 developers like AWS CodeBuild, while over 26 developers mention "Powerful" as the leading cause for choosing Octopus Deploy.

Starbucks, AX Semantics, and Olo are some of the popular companies that use Octopus Deploy, whereas AWS CodeBuild is used by Convox, Volta Industries, and ChromaDex. Octopus Deploy has a broader approval, being mentioned in 45 company stacks & 15 developers stacks; compared to AWS CodeBuild, which is listed in 21 company stacks and 14 developer stacks.
