  Improving the performance of AWS Glue jobs involves several strategies that target different aspects of the ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) process. Here are some key practices. 1. Optimize Job Scripts Partitioning : Ensure your data is properly partitioned. Partitioning divides your data into manageable chunks, allowing parallel processing and reducing the amount of data scanned. Filtering : Apply pushdown predicates to filter data early in the ETL process, reducing the amount of data processed downstream. Compression : Use compressed file formats (e.g., Parquet, ORC) for your data sources and sinks. These formats not only reduce storage costs but also improve I/O performance. Optimize Transformations : Minimize the number of transformations and actions in your script. Combine transformations where possible and use DataFrame APIs which are optimized for performance. 2. Use Appropriate Data Formats Parquet and ORC : These columnar formats are efficient for storage and querying, signif

Given below is an approach that one could follow to ensure an effective implementation of any BI project. Steps in Business Intelligence Project Requirements elicitation is the most important activity in a BI exercise.

Identifying and involving all stakeholders in the requirements discussion is very important to gain buy-in for the BI initiative throughout the enterprise. Anyone would like to see a sample of analytics and play around a little to get a sense of the benefit/impact of analytics. Hence developing a quick prototype and showcasing the same to all stakeholders will help you get the necessary impetus for the initiative.  CAVEAT: Please ensure that the prototype development does not take more than two weeks.
