Athena (software)

Athena is a cloud-based service by Amazon Web Services (AWS) that allows users to analyze large amounts of data stored in Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) using standard SQL queries. It simplifies data analysis by eliminating the need for complex infrastructure setup and management. Users can query data directly and pay only for the queries they run, making it cost-effective. Athena is commonly used for tasks like data exploration, reporting, and business intelligence, enabling organizations to make data-driven decisions quickly and efficiently without requiring extensive technical knowledge.
