Athena

  • Athena is an interactive query service that makes it easy to analyse data directly in S3 using standard SQL.

  • Athena is serverless, so there is no infrastructure to set up or manage, and you pay only for the queries you run.

  • Athena scales automatically - running queries in parallel - so results are fast, even with large datasets and complex queries.

  • A common use case of Athena is to use it for querying AWS Service Logs, such as CloudTrail logs, CloudFront logs, ALB/NLB/CLB logs and VPC flow logs.
