AWS Glue vs. Microsoft Fabric

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.

I would highly recommend Microsoft Fabric, especially for medium to large enterprises aiming to build a robust, scalable, and secure data analytics platform. It effectively unifies various data workloads, streamlining data integration, engineering, and particularly enhancing our ability to create and share reliable Power BI dashboards. The deep integration with Azure AD for features like Row-Level Security is a significant advantage for data governance.

• 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.

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

I've rated Microsoft Fabric's overall usability as a 4, primarily due to its extensive and multifaceted feature set, which can make it challenging to navigate and determine the optimal functionality for a given task.While the breadth of capabilities is a core strength for large enterprises, it often leads to a sense of being "lost" or overwhelmed for teams like ours that do not have highly formalized roles or dedicated specialists for each Fabric "experience" (e.g., Data Engineering, Data Warehousing, Data Science).

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.

Microsoft Fabric integrates data ingestion, engineering, warehousing, and Power BI visualization into one cohesive environment. This "one-stop shop" approach dramatically reduces complexity, minimizes operational overhead, and eliminates the need to integrate disparate tools and manage data across multiple systems. It provides superior scalability for large datasets, supports open data formats, and offers a much broader suite of data engineering and data science capabilities.In essence, Fabric's integrated ecosystem and streamlined operational management were key differentiators, providing a more cohesive, scalable, and efficient solution for our evolving data strategy than combining specialized tools.

• 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
