Learn more about Amazon Athena at https://amzn.to/2XQa95Y Watch principal engineer Anthony Virtuoso give a deep dive and demo of Amazon Athena Federated Query. Athena enables you to run SQL queries across data stored in relational, non-relational, object, and custom data sources. You can use familiar SQL constructs to JOIN data across multiple data sources for quick analysis, and store results in Amazon S3 for subsequent use. Athena executes federated queries using Athena Data Source Connectors that run on AWS Lambda. AWS has open source data source connectors for Amazon DynamoDB, Apache HBase, Amazon Document DB, Amazon Redshift, AWS CloudWatch, AWS CloudWatch Metrics, and JDBC-compliant relational databases such MySQL, and PostgreSQL. Additionally, using the Athena Query Federation SDK, you can build connectors to any data source.
