The DataFrame code technology now extends past AWS Glue DynamicFrame to help a broader vary of knowledge processing situations. Now you can generate knowledge integration jobs for numerous knowledge sources and locations, together with Amazon Easy Storage Service (Amazon S3) knowledge lakes with well-liked file codecs like CSV, JSON, and Parquet, in addition to trendy desk codecs similar to Apache Hudi, Delta, and Apache Iceberg. Amazon Q can generate ETL jobs for connecting to over 20 totally different knowledge sources, together with relational databases like PostgreSQL, MySQL and Oracle; knowledge warehouses like Amazon Redshift, Snowflake, and Google BigQuery; NoSQL databases like Amazon DynamoDB, MongoDB, and OpenSearch; tables outlined within the AWS Glue Information Catalog; and customized user-supplied JDBC and Spark connectors. Your generated jobs can use quite a lot of knowledge transformations, together with filters, projections, unions, joins, and aggregations, providing you with the pliability to deal with advanced knowledge processing necessities.
On this put up, we talk about how Amazon Q knowledge integration transforms ETL workflow growth.
Improved capabilities of Amazon Q knowledge integration
Beforehand, Amazon Q knowledge integration solely generated code with template values that required you to fill within the configurations similar to connection properties for knowledge supply and knowledge sink and the configurations for transforms manually. With in-prompt context consciousness, now you can embrace this info in your pure language question, and Amazon Q knowledge integration will routinely extract and incorporate it into the workflow. As well as, generative visible ETL within the SageMaker Unified Studio (preview) visible editor lets you reiterate and refine your ETL workflow with new necessities, enabling incremental growth.
Resolution overview
This put up describes the end-to-end consumer experiences to reveal how Amazon Q knowledge integration and SageMaker Unified Studio (preview) simplify your knowledge integration and knowledge engineering duties with the brand new enhancements, by constructing a low-code no-code (LCNC) ETL workflow that allows seamless knowledge ingestion and transformation throughout a number of knowledge sources.
We reveal the best way to do the next:
- Connect with various knowledge sources
- Carry out desk joins
- Apply customized filters
- Export processed knowledge to Amazon S3
The next diagram illustrates the structure.
Utilizing Amazon Q knowledge integration with Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio (preview)
Within the first instance, we use Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio (preview) to develop a visible ETL workflow incrementally. This pipeline reads knowledge from totally different Amazon S3 based mostly Information Catalog tables, performs transformations on the information, and writes the reworked knowledge again into an Amazon S3. We use the allevents_pipe and venue_pipe recordsdata from the TICKIT dataset to reveal this functionality. The TICKIT dataset information gross sales actions on the fictional TICKIT web site, the place customers should purchase and promote tickets on-line for several types of occasions similar to sports activities video games, exhibits, and live shows.
The method includes merging the allevents_pipe and venue_pipe recordsdata from the TICKIT dataset. Subsequent, the merged knowledge is filtered to incorporate solely a particular geographic area. Then the reworked output knowledge is saved to Amazon S3 for additional processing in future.
Information preparation
The 2 datasets are hosted as two Information Catalog tables, venue and occasion, in a challenge in Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio (preview), as proven within the following screenshots.
Information processing
To course of the information, full the next steps:
- On the Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio console, on the Construct menu, select Visible ETL move.
An Amazon Q chat window will enable you to present an outline for the ETL move to be constructed.
- For this put up, enter the next textual content:
Create a Glue ETL move hook up with 2 Glue catalog tables venue and occasion in my database glue_db_4fthqih3vvk1if, be a part of the outcomes on the venue’s venueid and occasion’s e_venueid, and write output to a S3 location.
(The database title is generated with the challenge ID suffixed to the given database title routinely). - Select Submit.
An preliminary knowledge integration move can be generated as proven within the following screenshot to learn from the 2 Information Catalog tables, be a part of the outcomes, and write to Amazon S3. We will see the be a part of circumstances are appropriately inferred from our request from the be a part of node configuration displayed.
Let’s add one other filter rework based mostly on the venue state as DC.
- Select the plus signal and select the Amazon Q icon to ask a follow-up query.
- Enter the directions
filter on venue state with situation as venuestate==‘DC’ after becoming a member of the outcomesto change the workflow.
The workflow is up to date with a brand new filter rework.
Upon checking the S3 knowledge goal, we are able to see the S3 path is now a placeholder <s3-path> and the output format is Parquet.
- We will ask the next query in Amazon Q:
replace the s3 sink node to put in writing to s3://xxx-testing-in-356769412531/output/ in CSV format
in the identical strategy to replace the Amazon S3 knowledge goal.
- Select Present script to see the generated code is DataFrame based mostly, with all context in place from all of our dialog.
- Lastly, we are able to preview the information to be written to the goal S3 path. Be aware that the information is a joined outcome with solely the venue state DC included.
With Amazon Q knowledge integration with Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio (preview), an LCNC consumer can create the visible ETL workflow by offering prompts to Amazon Q and the context for knowledge sources and transformations are preserved. Subsequently, Amazon Q additionally generated the DataFrame-based code for knowledge engineers or extra skilled customers to make use of the automated ETL generated code for scripting functions.

On this part, we stroll via the steps to make use of Amazon Q knowledge integration with AWS Glue Studio
Information preparation
The 2 datasets are hosted in two Amazon S3 based mostly Information Catalog tables, occasion and venue, within the database glue_db, which we are able to question from Amazon Athena. The next screenshot exhibits an instance of the venue desk.
Information processing
To start out utilizing the AWS Glue code technology functionality, use the Amazon Q icon on the AWS Glue Studio console. You can begin authoring a brand new job, and ask Amazon Q the query to create the identical workflow:
Create a Glue ETL move hook up with 2 Glue catalog tables venue and occasion in my database glue_db, be a part of the outcomes on the venue’s venueid and occasion’s e_venueid, after which filter on venue state with situation as venuestate=='DC' and write to s3://<s3-bucket>/<folder>/output/ in CSV format.
You may see the identical code is generated with all configurations in place. With this response, you may study and perceive how one can creator AWS Glue code in your wants. You may copy and paste the generated code to the script editor. After you configure an AWS Id and Entry Administration (IAM) function on the job, save and run the job. When the job is full, you may start querying the information exported to Amazon S3.
After the job is full, you may confirm the joined knowledge by checking the required S3 path. The info is filtered by venue state as DC and is now prepared for downstream workloads to course of.
