## How Athena ingestion works

Statsig ingests your event and metric data from Amazon Athena so it flows into your Statsig metrics and experiments. To set up a connection with Athena, Statsig needs the following:

- Region
- Athena access permissions granted to a Statsig-owned service account

Instead of granting access permissions to a Statsig-owned service account, you can provide the following:

- IAM User Access Key
- IAM Secret Access Key

The IAM user must have permissions to query from Athena. The following is a sample policy with the required permissions:

            ]

    ]
