pipeline - How do I start AWS Codepipeline from client?

Question

I had built an AWS CDK code pipeline that triggers build on every git commit, but I want to trigger the build throw client function can anyone please guide me on how can I trigger the start-pipeline function throw the client-side.

Answer 1

You can use the AWS CLI to start the pipeline manually, the same thing is possible via a API call.

From: Start a pipeline manually

aws codepipeline start-pipeline-execution --name MyFirstPipeline

Alternatively you can add a review button within CodePipeline.

From: Manage approval actions in CodePipeline

In AWS CodePipeline, you can add an approval action to a stage in a pipeline at the point where you want the pipeline execution to stop so that someone with the required AWS Identity and Access Management permissions can approve or reject the action.
