The DataFrame code era now extends past AWS Glue DynamicFrame to help a broader vary of information processing situations. Now you can generate knowledge integration jobs for varied knowledge sources and locations, together with Amazon Easy Storage Service (Amazon S3) knowledge lakes with fashionable file codecs like CSV, JSON, and Parquet, in addition to fashionable 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 Knowledge 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 focus on 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 embody this info in your pure language question, and Amazon Q knowledge integration will robotically extract and incorporate it into the workflow. As well as, generative visible ETL within the SageMaker Unified Studio (preview) visible editor means that you can reiterate and refine your ETL workflow with new necessities, enabling incremental growth.
Resolution overview
This put up describes the end-to-end person 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 permits seamless knowledge ingestion and transformation throughout a number of knowledge sources.
We reveal the 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 Knowledge Catalog tables, performs transformations on the info, and writes the remodeled knowledge again into an Amazon S3. We use the allevents_pipe and venue_pipe information from the TICKIT dataset to reveal this functionality. The TICKIT dataset information gross sales actions on the fictional TICKIT web site, the place customers can buy and promote tickets on-line for various kinds of occasions similar to sports activities video games, reveals, and live shows.
The method includes merging the allevents_pipe and venue_pipe information from the TICKIT dataset. Subsequent, the merged knowledge is filtered to incorporate solely a selected geographic area. Then the remodeled output knowledge is saved to Amazon S3 for additional processing in future.
Knowledge preparation
The 2 datasets are hosted as two Knowledge Catalog tables, venue and occasion, in a venture in Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio (preview), as proven within the following screenshots.
Knowledge processing
To course of the info, full the next steps:
- On the Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio console, on the Construct menu, select Visible ETL circulation.
An Amazon Q chat window will show you how to present an outline for the ETL circulation to be constructed.
- For this put up, enter the next textual content:
Create a Glue ETL circulation connect with 2 Glue catalog tables venue and occasion in my database glue_db_4fthqih3vvk1if, be part of the outcomes on the venue’s venueid and occasion’s e_venueid, and write output to a S3 location.
(The database identify is generated with the venture ID suffixed to the given database identify robotically). - Select Submit.
An preliminary knowledge integration circulation might be generated as proven within the following screenshot to learn from the 2 Knowledge Catalog tables, be part of the outcomes, and write to Amazon S3. We will see the be part of circumstances are appropriately inferred from our request from the be part of node configuration displayed.
Let’s add one other filter remodel 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 remodel.
Upon checking the S3 knowledge goal, we will 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 approach 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 will preview the info to be written to the goal S3 path. Observe that the info is a joined outcome with solely the venue state DC included.
With Amazon Q knowledge integration with Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio (preview), an LCNC person 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.
