Automate creating AWS Glue Data Catalog views with AWS SDK for data mesh use case
Big Data Blog
This article demonstrates how to automate creation of AWS Glue Data Catalog views with multiple SQL dialects using cross-account IAM definer roles for enterprise data mesh architectures.
- Create ATHENA and SPARK dialects simultaneously using AWS SDK and cross-account definer roles
- ATHENA dialects require asynchronous validation via Glue connection; SPARK dialects do not require validation
- Add ATHENA dialect to existing SPARK-only views using UpdateTable API with ADD action
- Multi-dialect views enable sharing data subsets across accounts without exposing base tables
- Supports CloudFormation for infrastructure-as-code deployment of cross-account views
- Requires Lake Formation permissions on base tables and resource links in producer and central governance accounts
This feature enables fully automated CI/CD pipelines for data asset management in multi-account data mesh environments with centralized governance.
