Not surprising the ui is not very friendly and getting code in and out when you are not inside the AWS walled garden (need AWS keys) really restricted it

Speaking of unfriendly, I learned recently that unlike S3 buckets, CodeCommit repository URLs are/were not globally unique. That is, something like:

    git clone https://git-codecommit.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/v1/repos/foobar
clones a repository named "foobar" in the namespace of the currently logged-in user. So it can give you completely different results with different credentials.

I once had high hopes Amazon would be able to build a real GitHub competitor. It's a real shame Amazon doesn't seem to be able to build anything that reaches beyond their walled garden.

CodePipeline is another good example of just horrible user experience. You need a lot of hours of training to figure out all the different permissions required to get it all to work. It is a mess.

I use GitHub Codespaces now for much of my deployment automation.

Codebuild is also a real pain.

I never NOT thought that CodeCommit and CodePipeline were box checks for strategic AWS customers

> If you would like to use an alternative to AWS CodeCommit given this news, we recommend using GitLab, GitHub, or another third party source provider of your choice. We have written a blog which describes how to migrate your repository to one of these other solutions.

I found that blog post: "How to migrate your AWS CodeCommit repository to another Git provider" from 25th July 2024 https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/devops/how-to-migrate-your-aws-...

I wonder how long AWS will keep Code Commit running for their customers who are already using it? I'm guessing many, many years.

Weird that there's no announcement anywhere (that I can find) about CodeCommit ceasing to onboard new customers. Apparently it happened on June 6th but this forum post from July 26th is the only thing that comes up in search.

Permissions are the bane of my AWS experience. Once you figure them out it's simple, but finding what you need in their docs is difficult.
