Build a CI/CD Pipeline Using AWS Glue, AWS CDK and GitHub

AWS Glue has evolved into a powerful tool for building scalable ETL solutions, but managing Glue jobs manually can be a pain point.
Using AWS CDK in combination with GitHub and CI/CD workflows has made deploying Glue jobs faster, more reliable, and far less error-prone.
To ensure consistency and collaboration across the team, a structured development workflow is followed integrating tools like Jira for task tracking and integrated with GitHub to map tickets to git branches.
Each component folder contains sub-folders for configuration files and Python-based Glue scripts. AWS CDK stacks are used to define Glue jobs for each component.
Separation of default and custom configurations gives flexibility to manage AWS Glue jobs efficiently.
Using a CI/CD-driven workflow for deploying AWS Glue jobs has significantly improved deployment process and reduces the chances of errors.
Every change is traceable, reviewable and deployed consistently across the environments.
The workflow works well for the author, but the workflows evolve with the project goals and requirements.
All views and opinions expressed in the blog are personal to the author and not necessarily those of the employer.

AMD’s new GPUs were a complete no-show at CES 2025

AMD's highly anticipated GPUs failed to make an appearance during last week's CES 2025 keynote.
The only mention of AMD's RX 9000 series was a brief tease of the RDNA 4 architecture and FSR 4.
AMD shared scarce information via the media but there were no concrete updates given during the keynote.
The RX 9070 and RX 9060 Radeon graphics cards (and their XT counterparts) were mentioned.
FSR 4 was given more screen time than RDNA 4, and is only set to be available in RDNA 4 GPUs.
The RX 9070 is set to compete with the RTX 4070 Ti and the RX 7900 XT, and has been confirmed as an upper-midrange card targeting the mainstream market.
However, there was no new information on specifics such as specs, prices, or release dates.
AMD's presentation largely focused on CPUs, including the Ryzen 9950X3D and laptop processors and APUs.
AMD has promised to reveal more information about RDNA 4 and FSR 4 later this quarter.
Nvidia, on the other hand, is set to announce its next-gen RTX 50-series and is expected to reveal much more at CES 2025.
