As already mentioned, Docker images are also available and that's my preferred solution.

If your concern is more about having access to ARM hardware, CodeBuild is a reasonable option. CodePipeline is more expensive than it should be given the feature set, but CodeBuild is cheap and easy to use directly.

Alternatively, I've been intending to move some of my build to Lambda itself. Easy to bootstrap if you use an architecture independent language like Python to script your build. And if your code takes more than 15 minutes to build, should it really be a Lambda function?

To be completely clear, if you just need a python script to basically Sync a few AWS services together, this is great. That’s how I use Lamdas now.

My main concern if I’m using something like Numpy, and I pull my dependencies locally on my 64-bit Machine I have no idea what’s going to work once I push it up to AWS ARM.
