Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Our organization uses CodeCommit as a cloud native alternative to our on prem GitHub. This is beneficial for many reasons. From an architecture perspective, it does not always make sense to reach on prem to get source code or binaries. Keeping the source code / version control where the deployment is living allows a seamless integration that satisfies all security requirements. It also offers scalability that is hard to beat with our own solutions.
