It really should be redesigned as a json blob is a terrible way to organize SQL jobs. Why can't things be scheduled like a calendar or meeting request?

AWS Glue is not user friendly,the transformation components that we have are not useful in different scenarios and we need to use custom transformation for everything,including even very basic operations.
