AWS Athena Insights

What is AWS Athena?

Amazon Athena is an interactive query service that makes it easy to analyze data directly in Amazon S3 using standard SQL. Athena is serverless, so there is no infrastructure to manage, and you pay only for the queries that you run. Athena is commonly used for ad-hoc querying, data exploration, log analysis, and generating reports from data stored in S3.
