Optimize your AWS CodeBuild costs with these tips
Cache Dependencies
Optimize build durations by caching dependencies and build artifacts. This approach reduces the time CodeBuild needs to avail compute resources and, consequently, costs.
Right-Size Compute
Choose a smaller compute type for your builds like BUILD_GENERAL1_SMALL. It's cheaper than larger types provided it meets your build performance needs.
Manage S3 Artifacts
Only store needed build artifacts in Amazon S3 and regularly delete unused ones. Keeping unnecessary large build outputs in S3 for long-term can escalate storage costs.

About AWS CodeBuild
- About AWS CodeBuild
-
AWS CodeBuild is a managed continuous integration service that compiles, tests, and packages software. It eliminates the need for users to manage their own build servers; users simply input their source code location and selected build settings. CodeBuild automatically scales capacity to avoid queuing, only charging for the actual build time. It can also handle code hosted on GitHub.
- AWS CodeBuild pricing
-
AWS CodeBuild adopts a pay-as-you-go method, with no initial or minimum costs. Charges are based on resource consumption and build execution time, which can vary with compute type selection. Build time for On-Demand EC2 is measured in minutes while On-Demand Lambda is in seconds. Different compute types offer varied memory and CPU, impacting the price. Pricing differs for Linux and Windows per EC2 build minute and Lambda build second.
