Athena-Express

Athena-Express is a Node.js wrapper around the AWS SDK for Amazon Athena that simplifies executing SQL queries and fetching clean JSON results. It handles query initiation, polling for completion, result retrieval from S3, and error retries for throttling/network errors. Supports pagination and streaming, with optional cost reporting. Currently at v7.1.5, ships TypeScript types. Differentiators: synchronous/asynchronous fetch, automatic error handling, and a single-call API vs. manual AWS SDK orchestration. Release cadence is irregular; latest update 2021.
