AWS CodeCommit vs PyCharm: What are the differences?

Introduction

In this article, we will compare and highlight the key differences between AWS CodeCommit and PyCharm.

  1. Integration with Development Environment: AWS CodeCommit is a fully managed source control service that integrates seamlessly with AWS developer tools and services. It provides a centralized repository for version control of code. On the other hand, PyCharm is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) specifically designed for Python development. It offers a wide range of features such as code completion, debugging tools, and project management. While CodeCommit focuses on version control, PyCharm provides a complete development environment.

  2. Deployment Options: AWS CodeCommit is a cloud-based service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS). It offers a scalable and reliable solution for managing source code in the cloud. In contrast, PyCharm is a desktop IDE that can be installed on user's local machine. It allows developers to work on their code offline and provides more control over the development environment. PyCharm can be used with various deployment options, including local servers, remote servers, and cloud platforms.

  3. Collaboration and Team Development: AWS CodeCommit provides features for collaboration and team development. It offers access control mechanisms, such as IAM roles and permissions, to regulate user access to repositories. It also supports features like pull requests, code reviews, and branch management. On the other hand, PyCharm primarily focuses on individual development, although it does provide some basic collaboration features like version control integration with Git. However, it may not have the same level of collaboration features as AWS CodeCommit.

  4. Scalability and Performance: AWS CodeCommit is designed to handle large-scale code repositories and high-velocity software development. It provides features like automatic scaling, high availability, and high performance. PyCharm, being a local IDE, relies on the resources of the user's machine. While it can handle reasonably large projects, it may face limitations in terms of scalability and performance compared to CodeCommit, especially when it comes to handling very large codebases or multiple developers working on the same project simultaneously.

  5. Pricing Model: AWS CodeCommit follows a pay-as-you-go pricing model, where users are charged based on the number of active users, repositories, and data transfer. It offers a free tier for small-scale usage. On the other hand, PyCharm offers different pricing options based on the edition (Community, Professional) and the licensing model (subscription or perpetual). PyCharm Community Edition is free to use, while the Professional Edition requires a paid license or subscription.

  6. Platform Support: AWS CodeCommit can be accessed through the AWS Management Console, command-line interface (CLI), and Git client. It supports integration with various AWS services and developer tools. PyCharm, on the other hand, supports multiple platforms including Windows, macOS, and Linux. It provides cross-platform compatibility and can be used in conjunction with popular version control systems like Git, Mercurial, and Subversion.

In Summary, AWS CodeCommit is a cloud-based source control service with excellent scalability, collaboration features, and integration with AWS services. PyCharm, on the other hand, is a local IDE providing a comprehensive development environment with deployment flexibility but may have limitations in terms of scalability and collaboration.

Advice on AWS CodeCommit and PyCharm

Hi, I need advice. In my project, we are using Bitbucket hosted on-prem, Jenkins, and Jira. Also, we have restrictions not to use any plugins for code review, code quality, code security, etc., with bitbucket. Now we want to migrate to AWS CodeCommit, which would mean that we can use, let's say, Amazon CodeGuru for code reviews and move to AWS CodeBuild and AWS CodePipeline for build automation in the future rather than using Jenkins.

Now I want advice on below.

  1. Is it a good idea to migrate from Bitbucket to AWS Codecommit?
  2. If we want to integrate Jira with AWS Codecommit, then how can we do this? If a developer makes any changes in Jira, then a build should be triggered automatically in AWS and create a Jira ticket if the build fails. So, how can we achieve this?

Hi Kavita. It would be useful to explain in a bit more detail the integration to Jira you would like to achieve. Some of the Jira plugins will work with any git repository, regardless if its github/bitbucket/gitlab.

UPDATE: Thanks for the great response. I am going to start with VSCode based on the open source and free version that will allow me to grow into other languages, but not cost me a license ..yet.

I have been working with software development for 12 years, but I am just beginning my journey to learn to code. I am starting with Python following the suggestion of some of my coworkers. They are split between Eclipse and IntelliJ IDEA for IDEs that they use and PyCharm is new to me. Which IDE would you suggest for a beginner that will allow expansion to Java, JavaScript, and eventually AngularJS and possibly mobile applications?

Pycharm is great for python development, but can feel sometimes slow and community version has Somme very annoying restrictions (like they disabled jupyter notebooks plugin and made it premium feature). I personally started looking into VS Code as an alternative, and it has some very good potential. I suggest you take it into account.

The Community version of PyCharm is free and should give you what you need to get started with Python. Both PyCharm and IntelliJ are made by JetBrains. IntelliJ is initially focused on Java but you can get plugins for lots of other things. I subscribe to JetBrains' Toolbox: https://www.jetbrains.com/toolbox-app/ and have access to all of their great tools.

Hi, I will give my opinion based on my experience. I have used PyCharm, both community and Professional version. The community has limited functions, like you can't use a Jupyter notebook whereas it's available in the Professional version. PyCharm is slower compared to Visual Studio Code. Also Visual Studio Code is an editor which supports various languages. I myself have used both Visual Studio Code and PyCharm. I feel Visual Studio Code would be better choice. You may as well decide based upon your requirements.

I couldn't imagine using a development tool other than the IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate All Products Pack. A single license allows me to work directly on my server running Ubuntu and/or my workstation running Windows 10 Pro simultaneously. My current project uses HTML, W3CSS, JavaScript, Java, Groovy, Grails, C, GO, Python, Flask, and Rust. For me it's worth every penny of the $150 license fee. And you can try it for free.

Visual Studio code is easy to use, has a good UI, and a large community. Python works great with it, but unlike some other editors, it works with most languages either by default or by downloading a plugin. VS Code has built in linting, syntax coloring, autocompletes (IntelliSense), and an api for plugins to do there own tooling.

I'd personally recommend Visual Studio Code as it gives you the flexibility of working in any language, so long as there are extensions to support it. It gives you the flexibility to learn Python, venture into Java, Javascript, and eventually AngularJS, and potentially mobile applications. It's also free and you can install it on your personal computer. I think Visual Studio Code would serve your intended use case best.

IntelliJ really is the best for Java, I switched from eclipse years ago and never looked back. As for javascript, python and angular either using the standalone products from jetbrains (pycharm for python, webstorm for js) or installing the relevant plugins for InteliJ will be your best bet. Pycharm etc. are really just InteliJ with some additional plugins installed.

If you starting with Python then PyCharm is better. For Java I would suggest to go with IntelliJ IDEA but people also prefer eclipse so I would say try both and then decide. For JS/Angular/React I would suggest go with VSCode. I personally use it and prefer as its light weight and have good integration with chrome for frontend development.

PyCharm, IntelliJ IDEA are both products of JetBrains. They have a free (limited feature) and paid edition. Eclipse is free. VSCode is also free.

All three are great, however, I believe that IntelliJ IDEA's multiple IDE's are slightly more straight-forward and more up-to date than Eclipse. If I had to choose one specifically for Python projects I would go with PyCharm.

Lightweight and versatile. Huge library of extensions that enable you to integrate a host of services to your development environment. VS Code's biggest strength is its library of extensions which enables it to directly compete with every single major IDE for almost all major programming languages.
