Overall Satisfaction with AWS Glue

Utilized AWS Glue for the ETL process in a healthcare domain, where data from claims-related 837 and remittance-related 835 JSON files was ingested into Delta tables. Used it for data cleansing, validation, and processing as per business needs. During processing, AWS Glue uses Apache Spark environments to run transformation scripts in Python.

Pros

  • ETL business logic.
  • Monitoring.
  • Data Lineage.
  • Data migration.

Cons

  • AI based agent to have data related questions answered.
  • DQ tool for data quality checks as per business rules.
  • Reduces lot of manual burden of a data engineer.
  • Helps in efficiently monitoring and managing data loads.
I personally found it very usable for a data engineer's day job, particularly for performing ETL and managing the data pipelines.
