An end-to-end #ETL PoC on #AWS to find out: producer, #Kinesis, two #Firehose paths, two #Glue jobs, #Athena.

In the article: every choice with its why, plus a few gems from some Glue experience ๐

I needed to expose a Docker Compose app for a workshop: HTTPS, custom domain, backups, teardown with one command. ECS was overkill, manual setup was fragile.
๐ฎ Spoiler: one terraform apply does it all ๐๏ธ
In the article I describe every choice and why, driven by experience and the laziness of doing things by hand ๐
