During February 2025, work focused on enhancing the sodadata/soda-core repository by implementing AWS session token support for the Athena data source. This feature introduced a token-based authentication path, allowing users to connect to Athena using temporary AWS credentials rather than long-term keys. The approach improved security by reducing credential exposure and aligned with AWS best practices for authentication. Using Python and leveraging expertise in AWS and cloud computing, the developer enhanced the data source connector to support session tokens, laying the foundation for broader token-based authentication across additional AWS data sources. No major bugs were reported or addressed during this period.
