Data Discovery

Discover and search across all of your Amazon data sets

The Amazon Glue Data Catalog is your persistent metadata store for all your data assets, regardless of where they are located. The Data Catalog contains table definitions, job definitions, schemas, and other control information to help you manage your Amazon Glue environment. It automatically computes statistics and registers partitions to make queries against your data efficient and cost-effective. It also maintains a comprehensive schema version history so you can understand how your data has changed over time.

Automatic schema discovery

Amazon Glue crawlers connect to your source or target data store, progresses through a prioritized list of classifiers to determine the schema for your data, and then creates metadata in your Amazon Glue Data Catalog. The metadata is stored in tables in your data catalog and used in the authoring process of your ETL jobs. You can run crawlers on a schedule, on-demand, or trigger them based on an event to ensure that your metadata is up-to-date.

Manage and enforce schemas for data streams

Amazon Glue Schema Registry, a serverless feature of Amazon Glue, enables you to validate and control the evolution of streaming data using registered Apache Avro schemas, at no additional charge. Through Apache-licensed serializers and deserializers, the Schema Registry integrates with Java applications developed for Apache Kafka, Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (MSK), Amazon Kinesis Data Streams, Apache Flink, Amazon Kinesis Data Analytics for Apache Flink, and Amazon Lambda. When data streaming applications are integrated with the Schema Registry, you can improve data quality and safeguard against unexpected changes using compatibility checks that govern schema evolution. Additionally, you can create or update Amazon Glue tables and partitions using schemas stored within the registry.

Data Transformation

Build complex ETL pipelines with simple job scheduling

Amazon Glue jobs can be invoked on a schedule, on-demand, or based on an event. You can start multiple jobs in parallel or specify dependencies across jobs to build complex ETL pipelines. Amazon Glue will handle all inter-job dependencies, filter bad data, and retry jobs if they fail. All logs and notifications are pushed to Amazon CloudWatch so you can monitor and get alerts from a central service.

Clean and transform streaming data in-flight

Serverless streaming ETL jobs in Amazon Glue continuously consume data from streaming sources including Amazon Kinesis and Amazon MSK, clean and transform it in-flight, and make it available for analysis in seconds in your target data store. Use this feature to process event data like IoT event streams, clickstreams, and network logs. Amazon Glue streaming ETL jobs can enrich and aggregate data, join batch and streaming sources, and run a variety of complex analytics and machine learning operations.

Data Preparation

Deduplicate and cleanse data with built-in machine learning

Amazon Glue helps clean and prepare your data for analysis without becoming a machine learning expert. Its FindMatches feature deduplicates and finds records that are imperfect matches of each other. For example, use FindMatches to find duplicate records in your database of restaurants, such as when one record lists “Joe's Pizza” at “121 Main St.” and another shows a “Joseph's Pizzeria” at “121 Main”. FindMatches will just ask you to label sets of records as either “matching” or “not matching.” The system will then learn your criteria for calling a pair of records a “match” and will build an ETL job that you can use to find duplicate records within a database or matching records across two databases.

Edit, debug, and test ETL code with developer endpoints

If you choose to interactively develop your ETL code, Amazon Glue provides development endpoints for you to edit, debug, and test the code it generates for you. You can use your favorite IDE or notebook. You can write custom readers, writers, or transformations and import them into your Amazon Glue ETL jobs as custom libraries. You can also use and share code with other developers in our GitHub repository.

Normalize data without code using a visual interface

Amazon Glue DataBrew provides an interactive, point-and-click visual interface for users like data analysts and data scientists to clean and normalize data without writing code. You can easily visualize, clean, and normalize data directly from your data lake, data warehouses, and databases, including Amazon S3, Amazon Redshift, Amazon Aurora, and Amazon RDS. You can choose from over 250 built-in transformations to combine, pivot, and transpose the data, and automate data preparation tasks by applying saved transformations directly to the new incoming data.
