Fantastic product
Likeliness to Recommend
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.

It works on the ETL interaction via mechanizing the revelation, classifying, and change of information, making it simple for clients to get ready and burden their information for investigation. With Paste, clients can zero in on information change and examination while passing on the framework the board to AWS
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
One of the prevalent administrations given by Amazon is AWS Paste, which is brilliant at moving information across different information stores and trading information for examination. For the benefits it offers, for example, clear versatility for handling enormous volumes of information and an essential and basic UI for the client experience, I viewed AWS Paste as very supportive in information mix
What do you dislike most about this product?
Setting up and using AWS Paste can be testing, particularly for people who are not talented in Flash or Python. Particularly for huge scope information handling assignments, AWS Paste can be expensive.
