AWS has introduced zero-ETL integration support from external applications to AWS Glue, simplifying data integration for organizations. This new feature allows for seamless replication of data from popular platforms like Salesforce, ServiceNow, and Zendesk into Amazon SageMaker Lakehouse and Amazon Redshift. This blog post demonstrates a use case involving ServiceNow data integration, outlining the process of setting up a connector, creating a zero-ETL integration, and verifying both initial data load and change data capture (CDC). It also highlights the advantages of using Apache Iceberg for data versioning and time travel capabilities within zero-ETL integrations.
