AWS CodeCommit vs Beanstalk: What are the differences?

Developers describe AWS CodeCommit as "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. On the other hand, Beanstalk is detailed as "Private code hosting for teams". A single process to commit code, review with the team, and deploy the final result to your customers.

AWS CodeCommit and Beanstalk 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, Beanstalk provides the following key features:

• Setup and manage repositories- Import or create Subversion and Git repositories that are instantly available to your team.
• Invite team members, partners & clients- Restrict access to certain repos and provide read-only or full read/write permissions.
• Browse files and changes- Every version of every file you’ve committed to Beanstalk is just a click away. See a timeline of who made changes and view the differences between revisions. Syntax highlighting for over 70 languages.
