A pipeline defines your release process workflow, and describes how a new code change progresses through your release process. A pipeline comprises a series of stages (e.g., build, test, and deploy), which act as logical divisions in your workflow. Each stage is made up of a sequence of actions, which are tasks such as building code or deploying to test environments. AWS CodePipeline provides you with a graphical user interface to create, configure, and manage your pipeline and its various stages and actions, allowing you to easily visualize and model your release process workflow.

Parallel Execution

You can use CodePipeline to model your build, test, and deployment actions to run in parallel in order to increase your workflow speeds.
