8 Ways to Optimize AWS Glue Jobs in a Nutshell

Image
  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

What is so Trendy in Data Visualization and Reporting

Data Visualization: Data visualization is the process that defines any effort to assist people to understand the importance of data by placing it in a visual context.  Patterns, trends, and correlations that might be missed in text-based data can be represented and identified with data visualization software. It is a graphical representation of numerical data. This is one of the Hot skills in the market, you will get the highest salary. Types of data visualization Visual Reporting Visual reporting uses charts and graphics to represent business performance, usually defined by metrics and time-series information. The best dashboards and scorecards enable the users to drill down one or more levels to view more detailed information about a metric A dashboard is a visual exception report that signifies the ambiguities in performances using visualization techniques Visual Analysis Visual-analysis allows users to visually explore the data to observe the data and discove

5 Emerging Trends in Data Visualization

Nowadays, we deeply drowned in data of diverse kinds due to the increased computational power and accessibility. Specifically, in addition to public data available on the Internet (e.g., census, demographics, environmental data), data pertaining personal daily activities are now more easily collected. For example, through mobile devices that can log people's running distances and time or their manual record of nutrition consumption. Due to such expanded sources of data, there appear new applications that involve data collection, visualization, exploration, and distribution in daily contexts. These applications do, not only display static information but also let users navigate the data in forms of interactive visualizations. 5 Emerging Trends in Data Visualization. #1: This emerging trend has brought both opportunities and challenges to interaction designers to develop new approaches to designing data-based applications. #2: Conveying information has been one of main functio
