SparData, a local AWS Glue workbench
A desktop development environment for building AWS Glue and PySpark pipelines locally, with visual DAGs, generated code, containerized tests, and optional AI assistance.
Field notes
SparData describes a local workflow built around AWS's official Glue 5 container, allowing pipeline tests and schema or transformation checks before a cloud run. Its interface is presented as bidirectional: developers can edit a visual DAG or generated job.py code, while local Spark event logs feed a History Server. The site also says filesystem and AWS writes pause for in-app approval, and identifies the project as MIT-licensed open source.
