Amazon Athena now supports 1-minute reservations and 4 DPU minimum capacity

Amazon AthenaAWS · Analytics

Amazon Athena now supports 1-minute Capacity Reservations and a lower minimum capacity of 4 Data Processing Units (DPUs) for all reservations. Now, you can get started with less capacity and make more frequent, fine-grained adjustments to match your workload patterns—with no long-term commitments and cost savings up to 95% for short-duration query workloads.

Capacity Reservations provides dedicated serverless compute and is ideal for workloads requiring query prioritization and concurrency controls. You pay only for capacity that you reserve and there are no data scanned charges. Reserved capacity works seamlessly with existing Athena queries and workgroups—simply attach workgroups to a reservation and submit queries with no changes in your SQL queries or application code required.

To learn more, see the Athena User Guide and Athena pricing page.
