Start an Athena query and send a results notification

This sample project demonstrates how to use Step Functions and Amazon Athena to start an Athena query and send a notification with query results using Standard workflows.

In this project, Step Functions uses Lambda functions and an Amazon Glue crawler to generate a set of example data. It then performs a query using the Athena service integration and returns the results using an SNS topic.

For more information about Athena and Step Functions service integrations, see the following:

Step 1: Create the state machine

  1. Open the Step Functions console and choose Create state machine.

  2. Choose Create from template and find the related starter template. Choose Next to continue.

  3. Choose how to use the template:

    1. Run a demo – creates a read-only state machine. After review, you can create the workflow and all related resources.

    2. Build on it – provides an editable workflow definition that you can review, customize, and deploy with your own resources. (Related resources, such as functions or queues, will not be created automatically.)

  4. Choose Use template to continue with your selection.

    Note

    Standard charges apply for services deployed to your account.

Step 2: Run the demo state machine

If you chose the Run a demo option, all related resources will be deployed and ready to run. If you chose the Build on it option, you might need to set placeholder values and create additional resources before you can run your custom workflow.

  1. Choose Deploy and run.

  2. Wait for the Amazon CloudFormation stack to deploy. This can take up to 10 minutes.

  3. After the Start execution option appears, review the Input and choose Start execution.

Congratulations!

You should now have a running demo of your state machine. You can choose states in the Graph view to review input, output, variables, definition, and events.
