Caching Amazon Athena Query Results with DynamoDB and Managed Query Results

Amazon Athena on Apache Iceberg is a natural fit for analytics dashboards, but every query carries a fixed overhead of one to several seconds, even when the result is a single number. Dashboards auto-refresh and get opened by many users, so the same queries run again and again, paying that latency and the scan bill every time. Athena ships a built-in Query Result Reuse feature, but it refuses to run in a workgroup that uses Managed Query Results.

Serving Tenant-Branded, Login-Free Web Pages from a Lambda with Tokenized Access

A recipient needs to open a document you sent them. They have no account, and you do not want them to create one. The document is sensitive, for example a medical report, so it must be delivered in the sender's branding, it must reflect the current state of the case, and it must be revocable the moment something changes. A static link cannot do all three at once.
