Amazon Athena Overview
Amazon Athena an interactive query service used to analyze data in Amazon S3 with standard SQL. We simply point to your data in Amazon S3, define the schema and start querying with the built-in query editor. Amazon Athena allows us to mine all of our data in Amazon S3 without having to set up complex ETL processes. Amazon Athena charges based on queries run.
Amazon Athena uses Presto with ANSI SQL support and works with many standard data formats, including CSV, JSON, ORC, Avro , and Parquet. Athena is recommended for fast querying needs, but it can also handle complex analysis, including large joins, window functions, and arrays.
