Key benefits

  • Explore the promising capabilities of Amazon Athena and Athena’s Query Federation SDK
  • Use Athena to prepare data for common machine learning activities
  • Cover best practices for setting up connectivity between your application and Athena and security considerations

Description

Amazon Athena is an interactive query service that makes it easy to analyze data in Amazon S3 using SQL, without needing to manage any infrastructure. This book begins with an overview of the serverless analytics experience offered by Athena and teaches you how to build and tune an S3 Data Lake using Athena, including how to structure your tables using open-source file formats like Parquet. You’ll learn how to build, secure, and connect to a data lake with Athena and Lake Formation. Next, you’ll cover key tasks such as ad hoc data analysis, working with ETL pipelines, monitoring and alerting KPI breaches using CloudWatch Metrics, running customizable connectors with AWS Lambda, and more. Moving on, you’ll work through easy integrations, troubleshooting and tuning common Athena issues, and the most common reasons for query failure. You will also review tips to help diagnose and correct failing queries in your pursuit of operational excellence. Finally, you’ll explore advanced concepts such as Athena Query Federation and Athena ML to generate powerful insights without needing to touch a single server. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to build and use a data lake with Amazon Athena to add data-driven features to your app and perform the kind of ad hoc data analysis that often precedes many of today’s ML modeling exercises.

Who is this book for?

Business intelligence (BI) analysts, application developers, and system administrators who are looking to generate insights from an ever-growing sea of data while controlling costs and limiting operational burden, will find this book helpful. Basic SQL knowledge is expected to make the most out of this book.

What you will learn

  • Secure and manage the cost of querying your data
  • Use Athena ML and User Defined Functions (UDFs) to add advanced features to your reports
  • Write your own Athena Connector to integrate with a custom data source
  • Discover your datasets on S3 using AWS Glue Crawlers
  • Integrate Amazon Athena into your applications
  • Setup Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies to limit access to tables and databases in Glue Data Catalog
  • Add an Amazon SageMaker Notebook to your Athena queries
  • Get to grips with using Athena for ETL pipelines

Great reference on how to use Athena to do complex analytics on the cheap.Goes well beyond the reference docs to show how to get things done.Awesome writing that gets into the inside history of how features were built with example code to illustrate usage.

I was recommended to this book by a friend of mine. I already had some background on Athena but I still got a lot of value of this book. It was a good blend of on-hands exercises and technical material which kept it interesting throughout the book. The tone of the book differed from chapter to chapter, probably because there are multiple authors. Overall, I would highly recommend this.

Frustrated by the online AWS docs for Athena? This book contains everything you wanted to know about Athena (from Athena contributors). Well organized, written clearly, and full of useful knowledge, it's the go to source for becoming an Athena expert.

There are plenty of useful topics and content within this book. It goes through exploring data from data lakes, data warehouses, and other types of transactional and non transactional data. It provides Amazon Athena serverless analytic methods to produce SQL queries to your structured and un-structured data within your current BI tools. This book can be used as a technical reference to gain valuable insight into your data by using Athena as your main source to truth.
