Used mostly for log analytics, full-text search and application monitoring, it also provides free access to Elasticsearch APIs to integrate the code that are already in use.
2. Amazon Athena: Another very interesting API, Amazon Athena provide query running service where the user only pays for the queries he run on an SQL platform, which again is an easier task.
