I just tried out the AWS offering for CI/CD (CodePipeline/CodeBuild) and was disappointed with time-from-commit-to-deploy (to ECS, although it's the launch/build time I'm primarily concerned with here). It appears to waste 1-3 minutes on just queueing and provisioning a new VM to do the build. It's highly variable, too.
The main tradeoff (if the cost difference is insignificant) between this and a third party service like e.g. CircleCI appears to be between:
a) security (another service that can be comprised - with the implicit capability to instantly deploy something that owns your service)
and
b) latency/performance (CircleCI consistently starts builds within a few seconds)
How do you think about these things?
