How Datrise loads Zendesk Sunshine into Amazon Athena
Datrise syncs Zendesk Sunshine's records, events, and configuration objects into Amazon Athena as partitioned Parquet in S3 exposed as an Athena table. Flexible or custom fields land in struct/map columns in Parquet, and timestamps such as created, updated, and status changes are typed as timestamp.
Sync is incremental: Datrise uses writes new Parquet partitions and registers them in the Glue Data Catalog, so re-runs update only what changed. Hive-style partitioning by load date so Athena scans only new data. Athena bills per byte scanned and small files hurt, so Datrise compacts to right-sized Parquet rather than many tiny objects.
Ideal for serverless SQL over an S3 lake without a running warehouse.
