Agreed, Glue turned out to be very underwhelming. We ended up moving ETL flows to self-hosted Prefect (https://www.prefect.io/ https://www.prefect.io/) instead.

In general, AWS excels at a lot of core features (EC2, S3, the databases) but the higher-level services feel very thrown-together, with awful documentation. They are launching a large amount of half-baked services these days, (intending to capitalize on vendor lock-in?), but it's making the ecosystem start to look like a confusing mess. A lot of these wouldn't survive if they were marketed as standalone products.
