Working with Projects in AWS CodeStar - AWS CodeStar

On July 31, 2024, Amazon Web Services (AWS) will discontinue support for creating and viewing AWS CodeStar projects. After July 31, 2024, you will no longer be able to access the AWS CodeStar console or create new projects. However, the AWS resources created by AWS CodeStar, including your source repositories, pipelines, and builds, will be unaffected by this change and will continue to function. AWS CodeStar Connections and AWS CodeStar Notifications will not be impacted by this discontinuation.

 

If you wish to track work, develop code, and build, test, and deploy your applications, Amazon CodeCatalyst provides a streamlined getting started process and additional functionality to manage your software projects. Learn more about functionality and pricing of Amazon CodeCatalyst.

Working with Projects in AWS CodeStar

When you use an AWS CodeStar project template, you can quickly create a project that is already configured with the resources you need, including:

  • Source repository

  • Build environment

  • Deployment and hosting resources

  • Programming language

The template even includes sample source code so you can start working with your project right away.

After you have a project, you can add or remove resources, customize your project dashboard, and monitor progress.

The following diagram shows a basic workflow in an AWS CodeStar project.


            An example AWS CodeStar project workflow

The basic workflow in the diagram shows a developer with the AWSCodeStarFullAccess policy applied that creates a project and adds team members to it. Together they write, build, test, and deploy code. The project dashboard provides tools that can be used in real time to view application activity and monitor builds, the flow of code through the deployment pipeline, and more. The team uses the team wiki tile to share information, best practices, and links. They integrate their issue-tracking software to help them track progress and tasks. As customers provide requests and feedback, the team adds this information to the project and integrates it into their project planning and development. As the project grows, the team adds more team members to support their code base.
