Run interactive analytics on Apache Spark in under a second

Why Athena on Apache Spark?

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.
