A Python library that simplifies data integration between pandas and AWS services like Athena, S3, Redshift, and more.
AWS SDK for pandas (awswrangler) is a Python library that extends pandas to work seamlessly with AWS data services. It provides a unified API for reading, writing, and querying data across services like Amazon S3, Athena, Redshift, Glue, and more, eliminating the need for low-level AWS SDK calls. The library simplifies data integration workflows by allowing users to manipulate AWS data using familiar pandas DataFrame operations.
Data engineers, data scientists, and analysts working in AWS environments who need to move and transform data between pandas and AWS services. It's particularly useful for teams building ETL pipelines, data lakes, or analytics platforms on AWS.
Developers choose AWS SDK for pandas because it dramatically reduces the complexity of integrating pandas with AWS, offering a clean, high-level API that abstracts away service-specific SDK details. Its ability to scale with Modin and Ray, combined with support for a wide range of AWS services, makes it a versatile tool for cloud-native data workflows.
pandas on AWS - Easy integration with Athena, Glue, Redshift, Timestream, Neptune, OpenSearch, QuickSight, Chime, CloudWatchLogs, DynamoDB, EMR, SecretManager, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLServer and S3 (Parquet, CSV, JSON and EXCEL).
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Provides a single pandas-like API for services like S3, Athena, Redshift, and Glue, reducing boilerplate code compared to using multiple AWS SDKs directly.
Leverages Modin and Ray for distributed data processing, enabling workflows to handle larger datasets efficiently, as highlighted in the 'At scale' section.
Supports a wide range of AWS services including Timestream, OpenSearch, Neptune, and QuickSight, covering diverse analytics and database use cases.
Extends pandas DataFrame operations to AWS, allowing data engineers and scientists to work with cloud data using familiar methods, lowering the learning curve.
Tightly coupled to AWS services, making it unsuitable for projects that may migrate to other clouds or require multi-cloud flexibility.
Starting version 3.0, optional modules like Redshift support require explicit installation (e.g., 'awswrangler[redshift]'), adding overhead for multi-service setups.
Core pandas operations can be memory-intensive for very large datasets, and distributed scaling with Modin/Ray introduces additional setup and operational complexity.
