AWS CodeDeploy vs Selenium: What are the differences?

AWS CodeDeploy: Coordinate application deployments to Amazon EC2 instances. AWS CodeDeploy is a service that automates code deployments to Amazon EC2 instances. AWS CodeDeploy makes it easier for you to rapidly release new features, helps you avoid downtime during deployment, and handles the complexity of updating your applications; Selenium: Web Browser Automation. Selenium automates browsers. That's it! What you do with that power is entirely up to you. Primarily, it is for automating web applications for testing purposes, but is certainly not limited to just that. Boring web-based administration tasks can (and should!) also be automated as well.

AWS CodeDeploy and Selenium are primarily classified as "Deployment as a Service" and "Browser Testing" tools respectively.

"Automates code deployments" is the top reason why over 15 developers like AWS CodeDeploy, while over 149 developers mention "Automates browsers" as the leading cause for choosing Selenium.

Selenium is an open source tool with 14.7K GitHub stars and 4.92K GitHub forks. Here's a link to Selenium's open source repository on GitHub.
