What is AWS Glue?

AWS Glue is a fully managed ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) service offered by Amazon Web Services. It simplifies the process of preparing and loading data for analytics. AWS Glue allows users to:

1. Extract data from various sources.
2. Transform the data (clean, filter, or enrich it).
3. Load the transformed data into a destination data store (like a data warehouse or data lake).

It’s particularly useful for tasks such as:

• Data cataloging: Automatically discovers and catalogs metadata about your data from multiple sources.
• ETL: Writing and running ETL jobs to process and move data between sources.
• Data preparation for analytics: Making raw data ready for analysis by tools like Amazon Athena, Amazon Redshift, or Amazon S3.
• Serverless processing: You don't need to manage any underlying infrastructure, as AWS Glue handles the scaling and execution of jobs.
