About this API
DataBrew is AWS's no-code ETL tool for data analysts/scientists. Traditional ETL requires SQL or Python (pandas), which analysts/business users may not master. DataBrew uses a visual UI: import S3 data → preview data → point-click "join these tables", "remove nulls", "transform date format" → auto-generates transformation recipe → one-click schedule. Covers 200+ built-in transformations. Results output to S3 or Glue Catalog for downstream Athena/Redshift. Complements Glue/Spark — DataBrew suits interactive exploration and prep; Glue suits production-scale ETL.
