Memory hook
AWS CodeBuild = Compiles code, runs tests, and produces build artifacts in temporary environments.
How it works
- Retrieves source from a repository, S3, or CodePipeline.
- Runs install, pre_build, build, and post_build phases from
buildspec.yml. - Compiles, tests, and packages in an isolated ephemeral environment.
- Outputs artifacts and sends logs to CloudWatch Logs.
CodeBuild runs builds and tests; CodePipeline orchestrates the pipeline; CodeDeploy deploys to targets. Private dependencies and VPC resources also require correct network, IAM role, and secret access.
