AWS Glue
A fully managed ETL service and data catalog provided by Amazon Web Services. It supports data discovery, metadata management, and data integration across multiple storage systems.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Catalog services from cloud vendors and data platforms (such as AWS Glue, Databricks Unity Catalog, and Google Dataplex) layer proprietary capabilities—including permission models, lineage tracking, and tag management—on top of this mapping, causing catalog lock-in.
AWS Glue, Apache Atlas, and Unity Catalog each have their own tagging system, and the industry has yet to establish a unified standard for tag semantic normalization.
The REST Catalog protocol is becoming the de facto industry standard, freeing the metadata management of Iceberg tables from being tied to specific catalog implementations such as Hive Metastore and AWS Glue
S3 has become the de facto standard for building data lakes and is deeply integrated with services such as Athena, EMR, Redshift Spectrum, and Glue within the AWS ecosystem.
