I'm going to chime in and say the only benefit we got from CodeDeploy was its cost was folded into our AWS account. We didn't have to go through the hassle of explaining why we need "yet another <$100/month expense" from a different company. I appreciate this is a bad reason to recommend a service, and am not defending it. Just explaining why we wound up using it. The service itself is not horrible, but like every other AWS service, I felt like I was definitely not in the target market: some easily implemented feature was left out and the configuration space easily allowed you to specify things that weren't covered in the (very) thin documentation and seemed to behave unexpectedly.
