Abstract

In today's data-driven world, organizations are increasingly focused on optimizing their data migration processes to enhance operational efficiency and support strategic decision-making. AWS Glue, a fully managed extract, transform, and load (ETL) service, has emerged as a prominent solution for facilitating seamless data integration. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of AWS Glue, examining its performance, security features, and cost-effectiveness in the context of data migration. By leveraging serverless architecture and automated processes, AWS Glue offers significant advantages in reducing the time and effort required for data preparation and transformation. Its integration with other AWS services further enhances its performance, providing a robust framework for managing large datasets. This paper explores these security features, including data encryption, access control, and compliance with industry standards, demonstrating AWS Glue's commitment to safeguarding sensitive information throughout the migration process. The paper provides a detailed cost comparison with other data migration tools, considering factors such as pricing models, resource utilization, and operational efficiency.

The findings reveal that AWS Glue offers a competitive edge in terms of financial efficiency, making it an attractive choice for organizations seeking to optimize their data migration strategies. Overall, this analysis aims to equip IT professionals and organizational leaders with valuable insights into AWS Glue's capabilities, enabling them to make informed decisions and achieve a seamless, secure, and cost-effective data migration experience.
