Setting up a pipeline using AWS Glue to ingest data from a JDBC database into a catalog table

Creating a full pipeline using AWS Glue to ingest data from a relational database on a regular basis involves setting up the necessary components such as a Glue job, Glue crawler, and a retry mechanism to handle transient errors. In this recipe, we are going to use the AWS Glue job with EventBridge and Step Functions workflow. We will read data from a relational database and store it in an S3 bucket.

How to do it…

   1. Use your existing S3 bucket or create a new one. (To create a new S3 bucket, navigate to the S3 service in the AWS Management Console, click on Create bucket, and specify a unique name. Choose the region and configure settings such as versioning or encryption as needed, then click on Create.)
   2. Create an RDS MySQL instance (please use the following link and follow the given instructions: https://aws.amazon.com/getting-started/hands-on/create...
