AWS Glue Likes & Dislikes
I like AWS Glue because it is fully serverless. ELT service that eliminates the need to manage infrastructure while automatically scaling with data volume. It integrates seamlessly with AWS services such as S3, Athena, Redshift, and Snap Lake Formation and Glue, simplifies data transformation using Pyspark and spark SQL and its data catalog and crawlers make schema discovery and metadata management easy.
managed service, good integrations, can use pyspark scripts
Fully managed and serverless, removes a lot of infrastructure overhead. Supports Spark, Python & visual authoring. Cost effective for intermittent workloads. Built in data catalog.
AWS glue can be difficult to debug due to verbose spark logs and limited error visibility. Job startup times are slow because of cold starts, managing dependencies and spark versions can be complex and cost may inefficient DPU allocations. It is not suited for low-latency or real-time processing use cases.
complicated UI for simple problems, difficult to debug, cold start issues
Some UI issues. Debugging tools don't feel very modern Job startup times can be long. Variable quality of documentation.
