Thanks for the walkthrough, very interesting.

Do you have an idea of the cost reductions between the first version and the second?

I don't have the exact numbers but I can say that we reduced the cost like in a 2000 factor. Our bottleneck is still transferring data from S3.

Well, a 2000x reduction is A LOT of less money. Good job!

What do you mean transfering data from S3? You mean the cost of downloading Athena results?
