What differentiates AWS Glue from other similar products?

AWS Glue stands out from other ETL and data integration solutions in several key ways, driven by its architecture, features, and integration with the AWS ecosystem. Here are the primary differentiators: Serverless Architecture AWS Glue is fully serverless, meaning that users do not have to provision, configure, or manage any servers. This eliminates a significant amount of the administrative burden associated with setting up and maintaining infrastructure, allowing developers and data engineers to focus more on the application logic rather than the underlying hardware.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Scalability and Flexibility The serverless nature of AWS Glue means that it automatically scales the computing resources needed to run ETL jobs, depending on the workload. This automatic scaling not only optimizes the processing time but also helps manage costs by allocating resources efficiently, without user intervention.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Pricing Model Complexity AWS Glue's pricing model is based on a combination of factors, including the number of Data Processing Units (DPUs) consumed by jobs and the duration those jobs run. Understanding how many DPUs your jobs will require and estimating the cost can be complex and not always straightforward, particularly for new users or for complex ETL jobs.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Understand the Pricing Model Before diving into AWS Glue, take the time to understand its pricing model. Know how charges are calculated based on Data Processing Units (DPUs) and job run times. Use the AWS pricing calculator to estimate costs and experiment with different scenarios to see how changes in your data processes might affect your bills.

Fantastic Product for the ETL Jobs

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates AWS Glue from other similar products?

AWS Glue has cloud support, and I have to pay for the ETL jobs I run on it, and its compatibility with others is good. I can use crawlers to detect the schema of my database and make a new one out of it

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

i Feel my bestest aspect of the Application is transfering of the data annoy free and very cleanly without any error in any database schema i define

What do you dislike most about this product?

Python and Scala are only the two programming languages supported in the AWS glue for now, which i think should be increased to include other programming languages.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I would recommend that you use this product with full trust, as it supports all the databases and ETL Jobs.

Pros

Enables Productivity
Saves Time
Acts with Integrity
Appreciates Incumbent Status

Single Catalog supported by majority systems

What differentiates AWS Glue from other similar products?

The management with AWS Glue is very minimal when compared to Apache Hive metastore or Cloudera Hive Metastore .. You can easily crawl data present on s3 to get the schema in the Glue catalog . There is no maintenance or minimal maintenance

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

AWS Glue catalog is widely used and supported by all the major Big data frameworks like Apache Spark , Trino, Using AWS Glue we can also write serverless pipelines using python or scala which make the effort of creating or maintaining hadoop clusters very easy

What do you dislike most about this product?

I feel cross cloud support should be increased so that aws glue can also be hosted on other clouds this would be a game changer

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Having a data catalog is very crucial in bigdata datalake . So AWS Glue will help you to create the data catalog without having any expertise of maintaining a catalog like hive metastore. Also the scaling is seamless with AWS Glue
