CodeStar integrates with other AWS services such as CodeCommit (a Git-based source control service), CodeBuild (a fully managed build service), and CodePipeline (a continuous delivery service) to enable a streamlined and automated development workflow. It also includes integrations with popular tools such as GitHub, Jenkins, and Eclipse, making it easy to use the tools you are already familiar with.
