Overview

Product Information on AWS Glue

Updated 13th October 2025

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 Pricing

AWS Glue software pricing model is based on a pay-as-you-go structure where charges are incurred for use of data processing units per minute, as well as for data catalog storage and requests. There are no upfront commitments, and users are billed monthly according to usage levels across various Glue features including ETL jobs, crawlers, and data catalog operations.

    Very good Data Catalog for S3 Data Lakes at a great price

    We are using AWS Glue for its Data Catalog capabilities at this time. We are not using its ETL functionality. The Data Catalog is extremely easy to create and keep updated as new data sources are added to our Data Lake on S3.

    AWS Glue: Simplifying Data Preparation with Automation and Integration

    4.0
    Dec 5, 2024
    My overall experience with AWS glue has been great. It makes handling ETL much easier with features like automatic schema discovery and data catalog that keeps everything organized. I really like the drag and drop interface, which is so simple to use, even if you are not a spark expert. Plus, the ability to clean stream data in real time. We can also easily integrate it with other AWS services.
