Day 50: Your CI/CD pipeline on AWS - Part-1 🚀 ☁

What is CodeCommit ?

• CodeCommit is a managed source control service by AWS that allows users to store, manage, and version their source code and artifacts securely and at scale just like GitHub. It supports Git, integrates with other AWS services, enables collaboration through branch and merge workflows, and provides audit logs and compliance reports to meet regulatory requirements and track changes. Overall, CodeCommit provides developers with a reliable and efficient way to manage their codebase and set up a CI/CD pipeline for their software development projects.
