Ultimate guide to migrating from AWS CodeCommit to GitLab

AWS CodeCommit is closing to new customers, but existing users can continue using it with limited support. Developers can migrate to GitLab and integrate it with AWS services like CodeBuild and CodePipeline. To migrate to GitLab, follow a parallel approach to minimize risks. Start by setting up a GitLab account and importing AWS-hosted repositories using pull mirroring. Gradually test and validate integrations for CI/CD pipelines, issue tracking, and code review. Once comfortable with the new environment, complete the migration by setting a migration date and finalizing data synchronization. Integrating GitLab with CodeBuild enables automated builds and testing. Create a GitLab connection in CodeStar Connections and specify the repository and branch. To integrate with CodePipeline, follow a similar process and select GitLab as the source provider. This allows for automated deployment to your AWS environment. AWS CodeStar Connections allows you to link GitLab with various AWS services, streamlining your workflow. Using CodeBuild with GitLab ensures consistent builds and collaboration. CodePipeline with GitLab automates the entire CI/CD process from source control to deployment.
