If you’re developing applications in the cloud, setting up your entire coding infrastructure can be daunting. With AWS, you now have an option in AWS CodeStar that allows you to more quickly develop and deploy applications within the Amazon ecosystem.
What is AWS CodeStar?
AWS CodeStar allows you and your team to quickly set up an interface to manage all your software development activities from one place. This means you and your colleagues will worry less about your cloud-based infrastructure and more about whether or not your code is working as it should.
Each project that you create in AWS CodeStar will feature a project management dashboard that includes issue-tracking capabilities powered by Atlassian JIRA Software. This dashboard gives you full visibility throughout your software’s development cycle as well as the backlog of any open issues and details on recent code deployments.

As is the case with many AWS services, there are no additional charges for AWS CodeStar. You’ll only pay for the AWS resources that you provision, and never anything more related to CodeStar.
