AWS Glue vs. Google Cloud Dataflow

One of AWS Glue's most notable features that aid in the creation and transformation of data is its data catalog. Support, scheduling, and the automation of the data schema recognition make it superior to its competitors aside from that. It also integrates perfectly with other AWS tools. The main restriction may be integrated with systems outside of the AWS environment. It functions flawlessly with the current AWS services but not with other goods. Another potential restriction that comes to mind is that glue operates on a spark, which means the engineer needs to be conversant in the language.

It is best in cases where you have batch as well as streaming data. Also in some cases where you have batch data right now and in future you will get streaming data. In those cases Dataflow is very good. Also in cases where most of your infra is on GCP. It might not be good when you already are on AWS or Azure. And also you want in-depth control over security and management. Then you can directly use Apache beam over Dataflow.

• It is extremely fast, easy, and self-intuitive. Though it is a suite of services, it requires pretty less time to get control over it.
• As it is a managed service, one need not take care of a lot of underlying details. The identification of data schema, code generation, customization, and orchestration of the different job components allows the developers to focus on the core business problem without worrying about infrastructure issues.
• It is a pay-as-you-go service. So, there is no need to provide any capacity in advance. So, it makes scheduling much easier.

• Streaming, Real time work load
• Batch processing
• Auto scaling
• flexible pricing

• In-Stream schema registries feature people can not use this more efficiently
• in Connections feature they can add more connectors as well
• The crucial problem with AWS Glue is that it only works with AWS.

• More templates for Bigquery and App Engine. There is only limited options for templates so the things we use can limit.
• I would like native connectors for Excel (XLSX) to reduce the need for custom wrappers in financial pipelines.
• Debugging Google Cloud Dataflow using only logs in Cloud Logging can be overwhelming sometimes, and it’s not always obvious which specific element in the flow caused a failure. IT uses a lot of time.

While easy to set up and manage monitoring for large datasets, its complexity can be a barrier for new users. Integration with AWS Ecosystem, Managed Monitoring, Dashboards and monitoring tools for AWS Glue are generally easy to set up and maintain, Automated Data Pipelines. Automates data pipeline creation, making it efficient for certain data integration

It really saved a lot of time and it's flexibility really can give you infra which is future-proof for most of the use cases may it be streaming or batch data. And with this you can avoid use of resource-heavy big data offerings.

Amazon responds in good time once the ticket has been generated but needs to generate tickets frequent because very few sample codes are available, and it's not cover all the scenarios.

AWS Glue is a fully managed ETL service that automates many ETL tasks, making it easier to set AWS Glue simplifies ETL through a visual interface and automated code generation.

• We are using GLUE for our ETL purpose. it’s ease with other our AWS services makes our ROI, 100% ROI.
• One missing piece was compatibility with other data source for which we found a work around and made our data source as S3 only, so our dependencies on other data source is also reducing

Incentivized

• cost saving from managing our own data center for ETL servers
• consumption based pricing
• with auto scaling feature, we were able to expand components to support work load
