Serverless ETL Meetup.

Join us for a Serverless ETL Meetup at the AWS NYC office in Herald Square, on February 21, from 4:00 to 6:00 PM EST. We'll cover three different topics:

Talk: Leveraging Athena Spark to go from 2 hours to 2 min.
In this talk I will give an overview of Spark and Athena Spark, I will then give an overview and demo of a recent long running ETL job that I optimized from 2 hours down to 2 minutes. I will also cover how to make Athena Spark jobs production ready using the AWS Boto3 SDK.

Talk: Unifying data with AWS Glue
AWS Glue is a serverless ETL (extract transform load) tool that allows you to easily onboard and transform data via a graphical interface, notebook, or Python code. The underlying engine is Spark which makes it both flexible (due to community contribution) and scalable. At Rightway, we leverage AWS Glue in various places to help us build data products rapidly. In this presentation, we will share how AWS Glue allowed us to leverage multiple data stores to create dynamic reports, showcasing the flexibility and scalability of AWS Glue through practical applications and recent successes.
