IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
We extensively use AWS Load balancers and a lot of traffic needs retrospection. Athena makes it quite simple and useful to query our traffic and analyze the service architecture. We also use AWS S3 extensively. Athena makes it quite simple to query around half a million records daily. We have tried other open source tools, none of which has been able to work in as fewer efforts as Athena did. I would definitely recommend it to others.
Pros
- Load Balance traffic analysis
- Big data report generation
- Micro services pattern query analysis
Cons
- Query manager can incoperate GUI based query designer
- Auto-completion engine sometimes overwrite the query
- Time range selection should be implicit
Likelihood to Recommend
We use Athena extensively on our load balance traffic analyser. It helps us filter out bad requests and reason them quickly. Hence, a useful toolkit for monitoring stack We also use Athena on our report generation on a million per day datasets. It helps report generation quickly and easily on daily basis, which would've taken a lot of engineering efforts.
