How I reduced $10000 Monthly AWS Glue Bill to $400 using Airflow

Vance axed AWS Glue costs by a staggering 96% through the deft use of Apache Airflow on EC2 and ECS, using Terraform to orchestrate the process. This transformation shrunk expenses from $10,000 to a mere $400 each month. The migration harnessed ECS to manage Airflow components, deftly arranging load balancing, DNS, and certificate management. Task distribution thrived on CeleryExecutor. Redis and RDS bolstered task queuing and met database requirements, embedding DAGs directly into Docker images to pave the way for smooth deployment and version control. The switch requires meticulous setup but serves up ample savings and operational prowess with a side of satisfaction.
