It allows teams to work together in concert, almost as if they were in the same room. Slack transforms the process of communication, bringing it into the 21st century with powerful style.
S3 Glue is a server less, salable data integration service that makes it easier to discover, prepare, move, and integrate data from multiple sources for analytics, machine learning, and application development. It provides all the capabilities required for data integration, so you can get insights and put your data to use in minutes instead of months.
