Hi,
We are currently storing the data in Amazon S3 using Apache Parquet format. We are using Presto to query the data from S3 and catalog it using AWS Glue catalog. We have Metabase sitting on top of Presto, where our reports are present. Currently, Presto is becoming too costly for us, and we are looking for alternatives for it but want to use the remaining setup (S3, Metabase) as much as possible. Please suggest alternative approaches.
Hey there, the trick to keeping costs under control is to partition. This means you split up your source files by date, and also query within dates, so that Athena only scans the few files necessary for those dates. I hope that makes sense (and I also hope I understood your question right). This article explains better https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/big-data/analyze-your-amazon-cloudfront-access-logs-at-scale/.
