3 things to know about AWS Glue DataBrew

Amazon Web Services' new visual data preparation tool for AWS Glue allows users to clean and normalize data with an interactive point-and-click visual interface without writing custom code. AWS Glue DataBrew helps data scientists and data analysts get the data ready for analytics and machine learning (ML) 80 percent quicker than traditional data preparation approaches, according to the cloud provider, which made the tool generally available on Wednesday. The new offering builds on AWS Glue, which AWS generally released in April of 2017. AWS Glue is a serverless, fully managed, extract, transform and load (ETL) service to categorize, clean, enrich and move data between various data stores. It has a central data repository called the AWS Glue Data Catalog, an ETL engine that generates Python code automatically and a flexible scheduler to handle dependency resolution, job monitoring and retries.
