Every organization wants to maximize the value of data for analytics, machine learning, and application development.
But for many, the process of finding, cleansing, and combining data from multiple disparate sources either slows them way down, or stops them from even getting started.
This is why I’m so excited that NorthBay has been named one of the first AWS Glue Delivery Launch Partners, which validates our deep expertise, hands-on experience, and track record of success in serverless data integration with AWS Glue. In fact, AWS Partner Solutions Architects vetted the outcomes of our work with customers to modernize their use of data and accelerate digital transformation.
As a key component in data integration strategies, ETL (extract, transform, and load) enables organizations to gather data from multiple sources and consolidate it to drive analytics and insights.
But data Integration can be a complicated and time-consuming process that involves discovering and extracting data from various sources, cleansing and enriching data, and integrating it in data warehouses or a data lake.
ETL tools can be hard to manage and maintain
Legacy ETL tools that have high upfront costs, are hard to manage and maintain, and have limiting and/or predefined transformation capabilities. AWS Glue, however, is a serverless data integration service that makes it easy to discover, prepare, and combine data for data integration, data pipeline, and data catalog use cases. With the ability to scale on demand, AWS Glue helps all of us at NorthBay empower our customers to focus on high-value activities that maximize the value of their data. You can learn more about AWS Glue and the Delivery Partner on the AWS blog.
