N/A
AWS Glue is a managed extract, transform, and load (ETL) service designed to make it easy for customers to prepare and load data for analytics. With it, users can create and run an ETL job in the AWS Management Console. Users point AWS Glue to data stored on AWS, and AWS Glue discovers data and stores the associated metadata (e.g. table definition and schema) in the AWS Glue Data Catalog. Once cataloged, data is immediately searchable, queryable, and available for ETL.

When the data which requires ETL has different formats, schema, and volume, this service suits them best. So, when the volume is not consistent (typical use-case of healthcare and online shopping), AWS Glue can be the prime choice. When the data is available in both batch and streaming mode, the developer needs to generate a separate codebase. This increases the source code management efforts. So, prefer to go with Glue when the nature of the data is the same (either batched or streamed).

It is a robust software with great management and data model. It can be difficult to learn how to use and deploy the first time but the mapping and features work very well and have optimized our productivity and cost savings. We can customize reports, create rules and integrate with other applications. Overall I recommend it.
