AWS Glue
AWS Glue is a serverless data integration service that handles ETL tasks. It simplifies moving and transforming data across various sources without managing underlying infrastructure. The platform scales automatically to meet demand, making it suitable for complex data pipelines.
It fits teams needing managed integration without operational overhead. A key trade-off is the pricing structure: while a free trial exists, actual usage starts at $1.00 per 1M requests. This pay-per-use model means costs scale directly with request volume rather than fixed monthly fees.
