Overview of this book

Data wrangling is the process of cleaning, transforming, and organizing raw, messy, or unstructured data into a structured format. It involves processes such as data cleaning, data integration, data transformation, and data enrichment to ensure that the data is accurate, consistent, and suitable for analysis. Data Wrangling on AWS equips you with the knowledge to reap the full potential of AWS data wrangling tools. First, you’ll be introduced to data wrangling on AWS and will be familiarized with data wrangling services available in AWS. You’ll understand how to work with AWS Glue DataBrew, AWS data wrangler, and AWS Sagemaker. Next, you’ll discover other AWS services like Amazon S3, Redshift, Athena, and Quicksight. Additionally, you’ll explore advanced topics such as performing Pandas data operation with AWS data wrangler, optimizing ML data with AWS SageMaker, building the data warehouse with Glue DataBrew, along with security and monitoring aspects. By the end of this book, you’ll be well-equipped to perform data wrangling using AWS services.

Customizing, building, and installing AWS SDK for pandas for different use cases

AWS SDK for pandas can be installed in different programming environments to perform data-wrangling activities. Let us consider the following examples, which will help us understand the usage of awswrangler across different environments:

  • A business user from Project A wants to install AWS SDK for pandas on a local machine and perform a proof of concept for a new project. The user also wants to do the same in an Amazon EC2 instance to test the solution with data from an AWS environment.
  • An IT person from Project A wants to use AWS SDK for pandas on a Lambda function to perform data-wrangling activities on low-volume data.
  • An IT person from Project B wants to use AWS SDK for pandas on a Glue Python shell to perform data-wrangling activities on data extracted from a source database. The team expects the transformations will take more than 15 minutes (the Lambda execution time limit). The team...
