What differentiates AWS Glue from other similar products?

The management with AWS Glue is very minimal when compared to Apache Hive metastore or Cloudera Hive Metastore .. You can easily crawl data present on s3 to get the schema in the Glue catalog . There is no maintenance or minimal maintenance

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

AWS Glue catalog is widely used and supported by all the major Big data frameworks like Apache Spark , Trino, Using AWS Glue we can also write serverless pipelines using python or scala which make the effort of creating or maintaining hadoop clusters very easy

What do you dislike most about this product?

I feel cross cloud support should be increased so that aws glue can also be hosted on other clouds this would be a game changer

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Having a data catalog is very crucial in bigdata datalake . So AWS Glue will help you to create the data catalog without having any expertise of maintaining a catalog like hive metastore. Also the scaling is seamless with AWS Glue

What differentiates AWS Glue from other similar products?

Glue prioritizes ETL/ELT via Spark jobs with auto-scaling and schema discovery, avoiding infrastructure management, while Azure Data Factory (ADF) offers visual low-code orchestration for diverse pipelines.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

AWS Glue's standout aspect is its fully serverless ETL with automatic schema discovery.

What do you dislike most about this product?

AWS Glue's biggest drawback is its batch-only processing model with no native real-time streaming or incremental syncs.

Start with AWS Glue's free tier for proof-of-concept ETL jobs on S3 data to test serverless scaling.
