ETL stands for Extract, Transform, and Load. It is a process of extracting data from multiple sources, transforming it into a format that can be loaded into a data warehouse, and then loading it into the data warehouse. ETL is a critical part of data processing and analytics, and it can be a time-consuming and complex process.
AWS Glue is a fully managed ETL service that makes it easy to prepare and load your data for analytics. It can handle all aspects of ETL, from data discovery to data transformation and data loading. Glue can automatically generate the code to extract, transform, and load your data. It can also automatically discover and register your data sources, and map your data to the appropriate data types.
AWS Glue can discover and extract data from a variety of data sources. It can connect to data sources using JDBC drivers, and it can also connect to Amazon S3 data sources.
To extract data from a JDBC data source, you first need to create a Glue connection. A connection defines the parameters needed to connect to a data source. Once you have created a connection, you can use it to run a crawler. A crawler is a Glue job that scans your data source and creates a schema for the data. The schema is stored in the AWS Glue Data Catalog.
Once you have run a crawler, you can create a Glue job to extract the data from the data source. The job will read the data from the data source and write it to an Amazon S3 data target. You can choose to write the data to a new Amazon S3 bucket, or you can overwrite an existing Amazon S3 bucket.
After you have extracted your data, you can transform it using AWS Glue. Glue provides a powerful ETL engine that can handle a variety of data transformation tasks.
To transform your data, you first need to create a Glue job. A Glue job defines the ETL process that will be run. You can use the AWS Glue console to create and edit Glue jobs.
Once you have created a Glue job, you can add Glue transforms to the job. Glue transforms are used to modify the data as it is being read from the data source. For example, you can use a Glue transform to filter the data, or to change the data type of a column.
After you have added the Glue transforms, you can run the Glue job. The job will read the data from the data source, apply the Glue transforms, and write the transformed data to an Amazon S3 data target.
After you have transformed your data, you can load it into a data warehouse. AWS Glue can load data into Amazon Redshift, Amazon DynamoDB, and Amazon Aurora.
To load data into a data warehouse, you first need to create a Glue job. A Glue job defines the ETL process that will be run. You can use the AWS Glue console to create and edit Glue jobs.
Once you have created a Glue job, you can add a Glue data load transform to the job. A Glue data load transform is used to load data into a data warehouse. You can choose to load the data into a new table, or you can append the data to an existing table.
After you have added the Glue data load transform, you can run the Glue job. The job will read the data from the data source, apply the Glue transforms, and load the data into the data warehouse.
