Description

What docs changes are you proposing?

Source: https://github.com/localstack-samples/sample-athena-glue-s3-data-lake-query

Problem

Only linked repo, no docs content.

Proposal

  • Add page with:
    • Introduction (query structured/unstructured data in S3 with Athena + Glue)
    • Prerequisites (LocalStack Pro, AWS CLI, Python/SQL client)
    • Architecture diagram (S3 bucket → Glue catalog → Athena query engine)
    • Steps (clone repo, deploy, load data, run query)
    • Testing the application (Athena SQL query returns expected rows)
    • Conclusion (analytics workflows locally)

Acceptance Criteria

  • Doc page present with all 6 sections.

Code of Conduct

  • I agree to follow this project's Code of Conduct
