What is AWS Glue?

AWS Glue is a cloud-based software designed for data integration and ETL (extract, transform, load) tasks. It enables users to prepare and load data for analytics by providing automated data discovery, schema inference, and job scheduling capabilities. The software supports integration with data stored in various sources, including relational databases, data lakes, and data warehouses. AWS Glue aids in cataloging metadata, transforming raw data, and orchestrating workflows through serverless execution, helping organizations streamline and automate the movement and transformation of large datasets for analytics and reporting.

AWS Glue is a great tool for batch processing but needs improvement for real time ingestion and processing. Its serverless capabilities enable data engineers to focus on data transformations rather than operational overheads.

    AWS Glue is a great tool for ETL jobs. It is easy to manage and integrates really well with other AWS services. Best part is that it is an AWS managed service and is fully scalable which can handle large datasets.

    Good serverless ETL workflows, simplifying infrastructure management and scaling

    As a DevOps engineer supporting data engineering and analytics, I am using Glue to build automated, serverless ETL workflows. It eliminates the necessity to provision and manage infrastructure for data transformation, making it easy to scale data movement across structured and unstructured data sources. It has a native integration with Amazing S3, Redshift, RDS and Athena. It has a Data Cataloge that we use as a unified matadata repository.
