Overall Satisfaction with AWS Glue

1) In my current use case we mainly use AWS Glue for Extract Transform Load to process batch data on daily basis. 2) the main problem we can able to solve or we can say the solution which Glue provides that is, it can easily integrate with other AWS services like S3, RDS, Athena 3) pricing model is also very like pay-as-you-go 4) the main business problem which glue solve we can ingest the data ewe can perform ETL on top that and can create spark or python shell jobs
  • Extract , transform , Load
  • AWS Data catalog
  • triggers
  • we can create workflows
  • 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.
  • AWS Glue studio
  • crawler
  • notebook
  • triggers
  • workflows
  • Positive Impact :- after ETL we can able to do some kind of automation
  • Negative :- At some point of time it can hamper the cost but not really
The main reason we choose AWS Glue over Talend Open Studio 1) Does not support Spark 2) Run only on java 3) not really feasible solution for heavy workloads 4) most of the cases need customer support 5) no proper documentation is available

well suited:- when you want to use it to transform your data then glue also provides there own transformation also in that option you can able to do PII masking of Data if you don't want to use any code approach. The second scenario would be when want to integrate glue with other AWS services. and also wants to run Spark on glue for faster processing. less appropriate:- If you want to integrate with other services which are outside of AWS. it does not support Java as of now so if you have java resources then you can not run it.
