Pros
  • Scale up and scale down easily
  • Seamless connectivity with other AWS services
  • Cost effective as you need to pay what you are using.
Cons
  • It’s integration with other cloud vendors is bit difficult
  • If it can support non SQL based databases as well, it would be powerful.
  • Real time data synchronisation in data source is missing

Pros
  • 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.
Cons
  • The sample code should cover more scenarios. They are quite basic. However, you can find good pointers from the internet and AWS community and tickets.
  • AWS Glue runs on Apache Spark. So, to take the best of the AWS Glue service, the developer should have a good idea of Apache Spark.

Unmatchable serverless computing.

Cons
  • Integration with systems outside of the AWS environment.
  • Glue runs on spark so the engineer should be aware of the language.
