AWS CodeBuild vs Snap CI: 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, Snap CI is detailed as "Build, test, and deploy software faster with Snap's continuous integration and deployment tool". Snap CI is a cloud-based continuous integration & continuous deployment tool with powerful deployment pipelines. Integrates seamlessly with GitHub and provides fast feedback so you can deploy with ease.

AWS CodeBuild and Snap CI can be categorized as "Continuous Integration" tools.

Some of the features offered by AWS CodeBuild are:

Fully Managed Build Service
Continuous Scaling
Enables Continuous Integration

On the other hand, Snap CI provides the following key features:

Deployment Options - Heroku, AWS
System Libraries - Your build runs on a RedHat 6-compatible system with commonly required libraries
Customization Options - In addition to all that we support out of the box, we offer you the chance to customize your build extensively.

"Pay per minute" is the top reason why over 4 developers like AWS CodeBuild, while over 13 developers mention "Github integration" as the leading cause for choosing Snap CI.

According to the StackShare community, AWS CodeBuild has a broader approval, being mentioned in 21 company stacks & 14 developers stacks; compared to Snap CI, which is listed in 7 company stacks and 3 developer stacks.
