This is very bad, and the silent deprecation of Amazon QLDB even more shocking. It looks like at AWS the MBA's are fully in charge...

Many in this thread commenting on CodeCommit not being GitHub or GitLab are missing the point.

I don't want to have my companies code with GitHub/Microsoft and being used to train their AI. Also don't want to have to rely on a third party like GitLab, that is a company who makes no money, and whose losses are $55 million dollars a quarter, and has shaky internal technical governance. Did not forget about their Prod database one man setup....

I don't care about the lack of features of CodeCommit. It's usefulness was essentially providing a managed git server. Did not need more, but needed it as a managed server in the AWS Cloud.

The alternatives now will be the third parties, or the additional effort of running EC2 instances and managing the resilience and architecture.

This does not predict a good future for tools like Amazon CodeGuru Reviewer for Java and Python, CodeArtifact, CodePipeline and CodeBuild. And even if these plus QLDB were probably money losers for AWS, the MBA's are missing the point.

I would not be surprised if these silent decisions, are not reversed shortly, or if the service is just kept forever as is, but not deprecated.

Edit: Just found this

Don't know what is going on but now also Cloud9 seems to have a shaky future? Not on-boarding new customers?
