Chapter 2. Exploring Any Data

QuickSight can analyze data from various sources including Amazon Web Services (AWS) data stores, files in common formats, Salesforce, and popular database engines. QuickSight has a simple interface to connect to these sources and create datasets from them that can be stored in SPICE for subsequent analysis. In this chapter, we will first look at Amazon's big data ecosystem and then review how QuickSight can be used to connect to the various data stores. The following topics will be covered:

  • Amazon's big data ecosystem
  • QuickSight-supported data sources
  • QuickSight-supported data types and data sizes
  • Use case review
  • Uploading your own data from files, RDBMS, and SaaS to QuickSight
  • Editing existing datasets
  • Uploading data using Athena
