Having used GUI ETL tools for years (SSIS, Informatca, Talend, Appworx) and now using Airflow(Prefect is an excellent alternative btw), I hope to never go back.

Having used GUI ETL tools for years (SSIS, Informatca, Talend, Appworx) and now using Airflow(Prefect is an excellent alternative btw), I hope to never go back. Great to see Glue improving and for the industry’s sake I hope it doesn’t catch on. Most ETL should be treated as code. As code, ETLs are easier to write, maintain, and manage complexity.
