Unsticking Ourselves from Glue: Migrating PayIt’s Data Pipelines to Argo Workflows and HeraPresented by Matt Menzenski, Senior Software Engineering Manager, Payitgov
At PayIt, we’ve been deploying applications to Kubernetes almost since the beginning of the company. Our data workloads, however, have run instead in AWS Glue. This has worked well enough for the reporting use cases that have been the main focus of this team historically. However, at the beginning of 2022, the PayIt data team began building out a new data platform, and in the process, ran into a number of challenges with Glue. In this talk, I will share the difficulties that we encountered with building, deploying, and orchestrating ETL pipelines in AWS Glue, our decision process for moving those workloads into Kubernetes, and the ELT architecture that we’ve arrived at today.
