This vid helps get started w/ Amazon Athena pricing.

i. Amazon Athena pricing is primarily based on the amount of data scanned by your queries. Here's a breakdown of Amazon Athena pricing:

1. **Data Scanned**: Amazon Athena charges you for the amount of data scanned by your queries. You are billed $5.00 per terabyte (TB) of data scanned. This pricing applies to all data scanned, regardless of whether the query returns any results or not.

2. **Data Output**: There are no additional charges for the amount of data returned by your queries. You are only billed for the data scanned.

3. **Presto Queries**: Amazon Athena uses Presto, an open-source distributed SQL query engine, under the hood. While there are no additional charges for using Presto, your usage of Amazon Athena will incur charges based on the data scanned.

4. **Amazon S3 Storage**: If your data is stored in Amazon S3, you will incur standard charges for storage. However, Athena only charges for the data scanned during queries, not for the storage itself.

5. **Data Compression**: Athena supports various data formats and compression techniques. Compressed data can reduce the amount of data scanned and, consequently, lower your query costs.

It's essential to monitor your usage and optimize your queries to minimize the amount of data scanned, as this will help control your costs. Additionally, consider partitioning your data and using columnar formats like Parquet or ORC to further optimize query performance and reduce costs.

For the most up-to-date pricing information and any potential changes, I recommend visiting the official AWS pricing page for Amazon Athena or consulting the AWS documentation.
