**AWS Code Star**: makes it easy to develop and deploy applications to AWS. It can manage the entire CI CD pipeline for you. It has a project management dashboard including and integrated issue tracking capability powered by Atlassian JIRA software.
**AWS X-ray**: makes it easy to analyze and debug applications. This provides you with a better insight to the performance of your application and the underlying services that it relies upon.
**AWS Code Commit**: is a git repository just like Github and it’s running in the AWS cloud.
