Just a price comparsion for others interested.
CodeBuild is really in-expensive.

The entire CI feedback loop should run in less than 10 minutes.

Semaphore

e1-standard-2 - 4 GB memory, 2 vCPU
Semaphore is $0.00025/sec

0.00025*600=0.15

So thats 15ยข per 10 minutes

1,300 minutes free every month

AWS CodeBuild

build.general1.small - 3 GB memory, 2 vCPU
AWS CodeBuild costs $0.005/min

So thats 0.5ยข per 10 minutes

100 minutes free every month

GCP Cloud Build

n1-standard-1 - 3.75GB memory, 1vCPU
GCP Cloud Build costs $0.003/min

So thats 0.03ยข per 10 minutes

First 120 minutes per day are free

Or roll your own with screwdriver.cd/
and pay what need to. Hint, run it right on your workstation in a container

Thanks for bringing this up. The comparison is valid if both services are able to do the same amount of work in 10 minutes. :) Iโ€™ll share a performance benchmark soon to shed more light on this.

Another major difference is that Semaphore prices are all inclusive. AWS charges you separately for log transfer and storage, network, other artifacts storage, etc.
