Which service to use?

Question

I am trying to figure out what to use for when my pipeline finishes building the software packages (all of them are tgz zipped) where can I store it? Is a simple s3 bucket the solution or is there something more tailored that allows me an easy integration with my pipeline?

Answer

The answer may vary depending on your choice of Build service/tool in your pipeline and your use-case. Generally speaking; S3 is the most common place to store built artifacts and it has native integration with AWS DevOps services, i.e. for AWS CodeBuild & CodePipeline S3 is the only option. Also there are plugins for other popular build management services i.e. TeamCity...   
If you use package managers such as npm, yarn, pip, twine, and mvn to publish packages developed within your organization [AWS CodeArtifact](https://aws.amazon.com/codeartifact/) is a better alternative as central organizational repository.
