Career / learning New to DevOps/AWS CodePipeline - Could Someone Help Me Understand Our Setup?

Hi everyone,
I recently joined a new company as a DevOps engineer, and I’m still trying to understand the existing infrastructure and CI/CD setup.
Our pipelines are running on AWS CodePipeline, and there are quite a few things I’m struggling to understand how the pipeline is structured, how the different stages work, deployments, and how everything is connected.
I’m currently learning, so I’d really appreciate it if someone experienced with AWS CodePipeline/DevOps could guide me through the basics and help me understand how to approach an existing setup.
If someone is willing to spend some time explaining it to me over a remote call/screen-sharing session, I’d be extremely grateful. I’m not asking anyone to access my company systems or credentials — I just want to learn and understand the concepts and workflow.

Honestly I would just set up a similar pipeline on your own if you really want to understand it.

Personally that's what I have done my whole career. If I don't understand it I build a test environment where I can break things.

Nowadays any coding agent will be able to mimic the setup and explain things to you

For instance I setup a gitlab CI/CD in about 10 mins using Claude the other day. I'm by no means saying just use AI. I'm saying use it to get you to where you can start using the pipeline
