AWS Glue Reviews

AWS Glue is a versatile tool and we mostly use it for "lift and shift" server migrations.

I appreciate AWS Glue for its cost-effectiveness. The service provides a good balance between its capabilities and the cost associated with using it.

In terms of improvement, the performance of AWS Glue could be faster.

I have been using AWS Glue for five years.

It is a stable product.

It is fairly scalable.

The partner program support is very good.

The initial setup is not too complex. To deploy and maintain a data platform, a general data team of around four to five skilled individuals is typically required.

For AWS Glue, there is no separate license fee. It is part of the AWS service, and you pay for its usage as part of your overall AWS bill.

Overall, I would rate AWS Glue as an eight out of ten.

AWS Glue is essentially used for data engineering ETL jobs to extract, transform, and load data. We use it to clean data. You have multiple data sources from your application that are not so clean. You have this data and may want to delete certain columns or fill in certain data in an Excel sheet. That's where the extract part comes in. Then, you transform, drop, or make the data uniform and load it to your destination like a data warehouse.

The solution’s most valuable feature is the ETL job. AWS Glue is an easy-to-use solution. AWS Glue integrates seamlessly with other AWS services like Athena, Redshift, and S3.

The solution’s technical support could be improved.

I have been using AWS Glue for a few months.

AWS Glue is a stable solution.

I rate the solution’s stability eight and a half out of ten.

In the future, our data sets are going to increase. For now, the solution's scalability is fine.

I previously used Data Pipeline, and I tried using Lambda.

The solution’s initial setup is easy.

AWS Glue is built for large datasets, and it does the job perfectly. I would recommend the solution to other users.

Overall, I rate the solution eight and a half out of ten.
