AWS Glue is a complex service, and it may have a steep learning curve for those who are not familiar with AWS or ETL concepts. AWS Glue is tightly integrated with other AWS services. While this can be advantageous for organizations already using AWS extensively, it may become a limitation for those who prefer or need to use different cloud providers or on-premises infrastructure.
