Measure performance of AWS Glue Data Quality for ETL pipelines

In this post, we provide benchmark results of running increasingly complex data quality rulesets over a predefined test dataset. As part of the results, we show how AWS Glue Data Quality provides information about the runtime of extract, transform, and load (ETL) jobs, the resources measured in terms of data processing units (DPUs), and how you can track the cost of running AWS Glue Data Quality for ETL pipelines by defining custom cost reporting in AWS Cost Explorer.

Build a pseudonymization service on AWS to protect sensitive data: Part 2
