Overview

Product Information on AWS Glue

Updated 13th October 2025

What is AWS Glue?

AWS Glue is a cloud-based software designed for data integration and ETL (extract, transform, load) tasks. It enables users to prepare and load data for analytics by providing automated data discovery, schema inference, and job scheduling capabilities. The software supports integration with data stored in various sources, including relational databases, data lakes, and data warehouses. AWS Glue aids in cataloging metadata, transforming raw data, and orchestrating workflows through serverless execution, helping organizations streamline and automate the movement and transformation of large datasets for analytics and reporting.

AWS Glue Pricing

AWS Glue software pricing model is based on a pay-as-you-go structure where charges are incurred for use of data processing units per minute, as well as for data catalog storage and requests. There are no upfront commitments, and users are billed monthly according to usage levels across various Glue features including ETL jobs, crawlers, and data catalog operations.

“Great for Batch Processing, room for improvement for real time”

AWS Glue is a great tool for batch processing but needs improvement for real time ingestion and processing. Its serverless capabilities enable data engineers to focus on data transformations rather than operational overheads.

AWS Glue Likes & Dislikes

Nos encanta la facilidad de implementación con baja configuración, empezar a gestionar los datos en tablas de AWS Glue nos fue bastante rápido con casi nula configuración por parte del usuario. La velocidad de AWS Glue es otro aspecto que nos encanta, cuando con otros proveedores el indexado demoraba, con AWS Glue no fue un problema.

1. Serverless and Scalable ETL with Spark: AWS Glue removes the infrastructure overhead and automatically scales based on data and compute requirements. 2. Hive compatible metadata store i.e. AWS Glue Data Catalog 3. AWS Glue Crawlers can automatically infer schema from semi-structured data like JSON. Crawler runs every hour and also updates the Data Catalog.

構築改修運用がかんたんであること

Dislike

La configuración si bien es mínima, requiere ir saltando entre muchas pantallas confusas. Tablas por un lado, bases de datos por otro, ingesta por otro, y costos en otro totalmente distinto. Nos encantaría ver en un futuro un producto donde todo esté integrado en el mismo dashboard del servicio; cómo en otros productos de AWS. También, un punto negativo a destacar es que el producto cuenta con nulas funciones de IA, a comparación de la competencia.

Dislike

1. Cold Start and Latency as Spark containerization takes 30-90 seconds for initialization, so even small takes minimum of 1.5-2 mins. 2. Glue Stream lacks flexibility and falls behind lower latency tools in the market. 3. Difficult to monitor as logs are scattered across CloudWatch.

    Strong serverless data integration that scales well. Good for ETL, cataloguing and orchestration but requires engineering skills to get the most out of it. Overall a positive experience.
