Overall Satisfaction with AWS Glue

We have certain transformations needs, we use Glue to fulfil them. As its integrated service from AWS itself, the connectivity to other AWS service is pretty seamless. As it’s fully serverless, we don’t have to worry about the infrastructure as well. It can crawl the things for us so we don’t have worry about the updation in our source, we got to know itself. So it’s powerful ETL FOR US.

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
  • 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
We give 7 rating because of usefulness in AWS world without worrying about infrastructure and services interaction, it’s pretty out of the box gives us the flexibility to interact with them and use them.

we take the data source in s3 from external system and then transform it using other AWS services and putting it back for other external services to consume in S3 form.

Do you think AWS Glue delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with AWS Glue's feature set?

Yes

Did AWS Glue live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of AWS Glue go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy AWS Glue again?

Yes

To integrate within AWS services, it’s great ETL tool which can work perfectly with our S3 buckets and SQL DB.

but when it comes to integrate it with Multi cloud infrastructure, its connectivity and compatibility lacks, i.e. if we have to connect to IBM cloud objects, it’s not possible in any way to have our data source being in other cloud vendor.
