I use them too, and it works well. However, I do miss the days we used Heroku to handle those deploys _in seconds_ rather than 10-15 minutes AWS uses to roll out an EBS update.
I admit, it wasn't the easiest thing to setup. But its nice. When I commit my changes to my mainline, it deploys the code to the host and configures everything for me, and keeps all my hosts up to date.
Coworker uses it all to kick off lambda functions.
CodeCommit is just a basic Git setup, so nothing special. But working with CodeDeploy and Pipelines is ok. I wouldn't say its much better or worst than other products, and you can use them to deploy to non-aws environments also.
I don't know, I can't really sell it well. It does what it does, and it works well enough for me.
