What is Amazon Glue

Amazon Glue is a fully managed extract, transform, and load (ETL) service that makes it easy for customers to prepare and load their data for analytics. It automates the difficult and time-consuming tasks of data discovery, conversion, mapping, and job scheduling so customers can focus on their data. Amazon Glue provides a serverless environment to run ETL jobs, allowing customers to start small and scale as their data and needs grow. It also supports a wide range of data sources, including Amazon s3, Amazon RDS, Amazon Redshift, and Amazon DynamoDB.

Benefits of setting up data profiling

Data Profiling for Amazon Glue offers many benefits. It lets users easily and quickly analyze data structures, profile and assess data quality, compare data between different sources, and quickly find errors in data structures. Additionally, its automatic report generation provides users with insight on their data, allowing them to make intelligent decisions that are based on the data. By taking advantage of Amazon Glue’s Data Profiling feature, users can streamline their analytic processes and gain a better understanding of the data they are analyzing.

Why should you have Data Profiling for Amazon Glue

To set up data profiling using Amazon Glue and secoda, one must first create a job in AWS Glue that is configured to crawl the source data store. Once the job is created, secoda can then be used to track changes in the data source and generate a data lineage. Finally, Amazon Glue can then be used to identify data quality issues and recommend potential solutions which can then be implemented.
