AWS Data Pipeline vs. Amazon DynamoDB Accelerator (DAX) vs. Dagster vs. JavaScript Comparison Chart

AWS Data Pipeline is a web service that helps you reliably process and move data between different AWS compute and storage services, as well as on-premises data sources, at specified intervals. With AWS Data Pipeline, you can regularly access your data where it’s stored, transform and process it at scale, and efficiently transfer the results to AWS services such as Amazon S3, Amazon RDS, Amazon DynamoDB, and Amazon EMR. AWS Data Pipeline helps you easily create complex data processing workloads that are fault tolerant, repeatable, and highly available. You don’t have to worry about ensuring resource availability, managing inter-task dependencies, retrying transient failures or timeouts in individual tasks, or creating a failure notification system. AWS Data Pipeline also allows you to move and process data that was previously locked up in on-premises data silos.

Dagster is a next-generation orchestration platform for the development, production, and observation of data assets. Unlike other data orchestration solutions, Dagster provides you with an end-to-end development lifecycle. Dagster gives you control over your disparate data tools and empowers you to build, test, deploy, run, and iterate on your data pipelines. It makes you and your data teams more productive, your operations more robust, and puts you in complete control of your data processes as you scale. Dagster brings a declarative approach to the engineering of data pipelines. Your team defines the data assets required, quickly assessing their status and resolving any discrepancies. An assets-based model is clearer than a tasks-based one and becomes a unifying abstraction across the whole workflow.
