“Efficient large-scale data processing, but mastering optimization is challenging”
Overall. My experience with AWS Glue has been very positive. It is a feature-rich, serverless data integration platform that simplifies building and managing ETL pipelines at scale.
The platform is particularly strong in metadata management, data transformation and seamless integration with AWS native services.
AWS Glue stands out due to its wide range of connectors, automated schema delivery, and flexible transformation capabilities using spark.
While it requires some expertise to fully leverage advanced features like optimization and data modelling, it provides a comprehensive and scalable solution for modern data engineering use cases.

“Integrating serverless data into AWS facilitates synergies but requires extra resources”
Based on my personal experience, this serverless data integration tool from Amazon Web Services seems like a good product because it allows you to extract, transform, and load data from different sources, automating data pipelines very effectively. The part that raised the most questions for us is that if you don't optimize your jobs, your costs will increase.
