Chapter 2: Introduction to Amazon Athena

The previous chapter walked you through your first, hands-on experience with serverless analytics using Amazon Athena. This chapter will continue that introduction by discussing Athena's capabilities, scalability, and pricing in more detail. In the past, vendors such as Oracle and Microsoft produced mostly one-size-fits-all analytics engines and RDBMSes. Bucking the historical norms, AWS has championed a fit for purpose database and analytics strategy. By optimizing for specific use cases, the analytics engines' very architecture could exploit nuances of the workload for which they were intended, thereby delivering an all-around better product. For example, Redshift, EMR, Glue, Athena, and Timestream all offer related but differentiated capabilities with their own unique advantages and trade-offs. The knowledge you will gain in this chapter provides a broad-based understanding of what functionality Athena offers as well as a set of...

Virtuoso

Anthony Virtuoso works as a Principal Engineer at Amazon and holds multiple patents in distributed systems, software defined networks, and security. In his eight years at Amazon, he has helped launch several Amazon Web Services, the most recent of which was Amazon Managed Blockchain. As one of the original authors of Athena Query Federation, you'll often find him lurking on the Athena Federation GitHub repository answering questions and shipping bug fixes. When not at work, Anthony obsesses over a different set of customers, namely his wife and two little boys, aged 2 and 5. His kids enjoy doing science experiments with dad, like 3D printing toys, building with Lego, or searching the local pond for tardigrades.
