  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 SAS? Originating in 1966 at North Carolina State University, SAS is a proprietary 4th generation programming language specifically designed for data analysis. Data analysis includes data management, ETL, descriptive statistics, plots and graphics, inferential statistics, data mining, forecasting, etc.. In addition to the SAS programming language, SAS Institute, its parent company, also sells solutions built on top of the SAS language. Many people assumptions about SAS: Some people confuse SAS with the common database query language called “SQL”, thinking that both languages manage data in some way. While SAS may be used for database querying (reading/writing data to databases), this is only a tiny fraction of SAS’s capabilities. To give some scope, the entire SQL language is available in SAS as but one “procedure” (think of a procedure as a bundle of functionality). SKILL Set: What It Is: Pronounced “sass,” this software helps workers perform a variety of tasks, in
