AWS CodeCommit is one more CI/CD to enter the increasingly crowded competition for CI/CD products. AWS has provided an entire suite of products:

CodeCommit: A managed git repo. We’ll check our terraform code into a repo hosted in Codecommit. Enough said.

CodeBuild: A managed continuous integration service. It runs job definitions, dynamically spins up and down build servers, and can support your own tooling, i.e. terraform! We’ll write a deploy terraform build in CodeBuild.

CodeDeploy: A managed deployment service that helps push code from a repo to AWS services where it can be executed. This is the only CodeX service from AWS we won’t use.

CodePipeline: A managed deployment service that supports complex deployment processes including code testing, automated deployment all the way to production. We’ll write a pipeline to automate a PR merge → terraform deploy.
