Also is there a way to integrate s3 as a datasource, i.e integrating a bucket full of parquet files for the tables or will I have to use Athena or some other warehouse.

You cannot connect an Amazon S3 bucket directly as a native data source in GoodData Cloud today (for example, “S3 with Parquet files” is not listed among supported databases or data source types). [[Supported DBs](https://www.gooddata.com/docs/cloud/connect-data/#supported-databases); [DataSourceType](https://sdk.gooddata.com/gooddata-ui-apidocs/v11.21.0/docs/sdk-model.datasourcetype.html#datasourcetype-type)] To analyze data stored in S3, you need to put a query engine or data source manager in front of it, and connect GoodData to that instead. The documented options include: - Amazon Athena – now officially supported as a data source; Athena itself reads from S3, so this is the most direct way to query Parquet in S3. [[Athena DS](https://www.gooddata.com/docs/cloud/connect-data/create-data-sources/athena/); [What’s new – Athena](https://www.gooddata.com/docs/cloud/whats-new-cloud/#support-for-amazon-athena-data-source)] - Other engines over S3 – community guidance explicitly mentions using a Data Source Manager such as Dremio or Apache Drill to connect to S3, and then connecting GoodData to that manager (Dremio/Drill are supported data sources). [[Slack S3 guidance](https://gooddataconnect.slack.com/archives/C04S1MSLEAW/p1710675061835919?thread_ts=1710675061.835919&cid=C04S1MSLEAW); [Create Dremio DS](https://www.gooddata.com/docs/cloud/connect-data/create-data-sources/dremio/)] So for a bucket of Parquet files, you will need to use Athena or another supported query engine/warehouse that exposes those files as tables; direct S3-as-datasource is not available in the provided documentation.
