Who This Tool Is For
DevOps and platform teams deciding whether to keep V1 pipelines or move orchestration to V2.
Why We Built This Tool
CodePipeline charges look small until stage fanout and repeated retries multiply action minutes across dozens of services.
What Problem It Solves
- V1 vs V2 confusion. Teams compare pipeline count to V2 minute-based pricing without modeling real execution volume.
- Retry noise. Failed integration tests can double action-minute consumption silently.
- Wrong optimization target. Pipeline orchestration is only one layer; build minutes often dominate total CI cost.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is CodePipeline V1 priced?
V1 is priced per active pipeline-month. This tool uses $1 per active pipeline in us-east-1.
How is CodePipeline V2 priced?
V2 is priced per action execution minute. This tool uses $0.002 per action minute in us-east-1.
Does this include CodeBuild pricing?
No. CodeBuild compute is billed separately. Use the CodeBuild calculator for build-minute and cache costs.
When is V2 usually cheaper?
V2 is typically cheaper when you run low action-minute volume across many pipelines. High execution volume can make V1 lower cost.
What counts as an action minute?
Each minute a CodePipeline action executes counts toward V2 pricing, including retries.
How do I cut pipeline costs quickly?
Remove redundant stages, reduce retries with deterministic tests, and offload heavy build logic to optimized CodeBuild runtimes.
