"AWS Glue is a stable and easy-to-use solution."
"I like the fact that AWS Glue works with Python scripts."
"AWS Glue's best features are scalability and cloud-based features."
"I also like that you can add custom libraries like JAR files and use them. So, the ability to use a fast processing engine and embed basic jobs easily are significant advantages."
"Moving to other clouds is impossible without significantly rearchitecting your applications."
"The interface for AWS Glue could improve, they do not put a lot of details. You can write the code, in PySpark or in Scala, which is a big advantage, it is only easy to use for a developer. It will be difficult for new users to enter the cloud environment."
"It is not clear how the partition discovery would have been affected by more data coming in."
"Cost-wise, AWS Glue is expensive, so that's an area for improvement. The process for setting up the solution was also complex, which is another area for improvement."
"There should be more connectors for different databases."
"Currently, it supports only two languages in the background: Python and Scala. From our customization point of view, it would be helpful if it can also support Java in the background."
"I would like to see stable libraries at the moment they are not there."
"The monitoring is not that good."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
