Coalesce Catalog and Glue

Introducing the Coalesce Catalog x AWS Glue Integration

We’re excited to announce a new native integration between Coalesce Catalog and AWS Glue, bringing powerful metadata management and lineage visibility to your data pipelines. With this launch, Coalesce Catalog can now automatically ingest and document metadata from AWS Glue jobs, tables, and crawlers — giving teams a unified view of their data workflows from ingestion to insight.

AWS Glue is a serverless data integration service that makes it easy to discover, prepare, and transform data for analytics and machine learning. It’s a core component of the modern data stack — especially in data lake architectures — but as Glue pipelines scale, it becomes increasingly difficult to understand what’s happening where, and how data flows from one step to the next.

That’s where Coalesce Catalog comes in. As a plug-and-play data catalog, Coalesce enables seamless discovery, documentation, and end-to-end lineage — now extended to your AWS Glue environment. The result: a powerful way to reduce friction, improve governance, and accelerate analytics across your AWS data stack.

How does it work?

The integration connects to your AWS Glue environment via API to pull metadata about:

• Glue jobs and their inputs/outputs
• Tables and schemas in the Glue Data Catalog
• Crawlers and classification logic

This metadata is automatically surfaced in Coalesce Catalog, where it is linked to upstream storage (e.g. S3) and downstream layers (e.g. data warehouses or BI tools) through intuitive lineage mapping.

Use Cases

Use-case #1

As a Data Platform Lead, I want to trace the full lineage of a dataset — from raw files in S3, through AWS Glue transformations, to analytics tables in Redshift or Athena — so I can debug faster and prevent data quality issues.

Use-case #2

As a Governance Manager, I want to understand which Glue jobs handle personal data, and where that data flows after transformation, to stay compliant with internal and external regulations.

“Glue is critical for thousands of modern data teams — but understanding what each job does and how it connects to the rest of the stack can be a challenge. With this integration, we make that complexity transparent and manageable.”

What’s in it for me?

With the Coalesce Catalog x AWS Glue integration, your team can:

• Automatically document data pipelines without manual work
• Visualize lineage from S3 through Glue to your data warehouse or lakehouse
• Reduce operational risk with impact analysis on schema changes
• Enable self-service analytics by making pipelines accessible and understandable to non-technical users
