Unlocking the Power of Athena with Lambda and API Gateway Integration

Amazon Athena is a powerful tool for querying data stored in Amazon S3 using standard SQL. By integrating it with AWS Lambda and API Gateway, you can create a serverless architecture that allows for dynamic querying and data retrieval.

In this setup, you can trigger a Lambda function via API Gateway, which in turn executes an Athena query. This allows for real-time data access and processing without the need for a dedicated server.

To implement this, you will need to set up an API Gateway endpoint that invokes a Lambda function. The Lambda function will contain the logic to execute the Athena query and return the results. This approach not only simplifies the architecture but also enhances scalability and cost-effectiveness.
