What differentiates AWS Glue from other similar products?

AWS Glue is like a superhero for handling data, and it gives you two cool ways to work with it. First, there's a friendly visual interface for those who like to see things visually.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favourite aspect of AWS Glue is its magical ability to automatically understand and figure out the structure of my data. It's like having a smart helper that can look at the information I throw at it and say, "Got it!" This is a game-changer, especially when my data is a bit messy or decides to change its style over time.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Fixing problems in fancy data jobs, especially the ones with custom scripts, can be a bit like solving a puzzle. Sometimes, it's tricky to figure out what went wrong.

Keep an eye out for updates from AWS because they often make their services better.
