Want to save up to 95% on your AWS Athena costs?
Want to save up to 95% on your AWS Athena costs?
I love AWS Glue + Athena for long-term data lake storage.
The problem is with the pricing, especially if you want to make small, frequent queries.
First off, of course, you should use partitioning to ensure you only query the data you need.
Beyond that, up until recently, you would have to pay the full rate.
As of February 10th, you can now reserve capacity at a cost savings up to 95%.
The regular pricing is based on the amount of TB scanned, but if you use the reserved capacity, there are no charges for data scanned, just per DPU hour billed per minute.
This is a win-win as AWS gets that lovely, predictable income, and you get a massive discount.
Need help figuring out other places where you can save up to 95% on this and other parts of your AWS bill?
