Run interactive analytics on Apache Spark in under a second
Get started with interactive analytics using Amazon Athena for Apache Spark in under a second to analyze petabytes of data. Interactive Spark applications start instantly and run faster with our optimized Spark runtime, so you spend more time on insights, not waiting for results. Build Spark applications using the expressiveness of Python with a simplified notebook experience in an Athena console or through Athena APIs. With the Athena serverless, fully managed model, there are no resources to manage, provision, and configure and no minimum fee or setup cost. You only pay for the queries that you run.
Benefits
Accelerate time to insights
Spend more time on insights, not on waiting for results. Interactive Spark applications start in under a second and run faster with our optimized Spark runtime.
Harness Spark for complex, powerful analytics
Use the expressiveness of Python with the popular open-source Spark framework to seek more complex insights from your data. Use notebooks to query data, chain calculations, and visualize results.
Build applications without managing resources
Run Spark applications cost-effectively, without provisioning and managing resources. Build Spark applications without worrying about Spark configurations or version upgrades.
Work with your data where it lives
Work with data in various data lakes, in open-data formats, and with your business applications without moving the data. Use data discovered and categorized by AWS Glue to build your Spark insights.
How it works
The diagram shows how to use Amazon Athena for Apache Spark to interactively explore and prepare your data.
The first section has an illustration of different data sources, including Amazon S3 data, big data, and data stores. The first section says, "Query data from data lakes, big data frameworks, and other data sources."
The second section is titled "AWS Glue Data Catalog." The second section says, "Crawl the data stores to generate metadata (like tables and schema) about your data."
The third section is titled "Amazon Athena for Apache Spark." The third section says, "Use Amazon Athena to interactively explore and prepare your data."
The fourth section has two items. The item at the top includes an illustration of a visual report. The text says, "Build applications to analyze and visualize your data". The bottom item includes an illustration of a gear. The text says, "Integrate with ML tools to interactively explore the data and prepare sample datasets for training and inference."
