A combination of two lambda functions working together. The first lambda (in nla-job) queries AWS Athena to obtain page views for articles and tone/minutebyminute content for a particular date and stores the page view information in an AWS S3 bucket. The second lambda (in ftp-upload) listens to events generated by the S3 bucket as a trigger and copies via FTP the added data into the NLA FTP server.
The page views contain the web title, url and count of views for that particular piece of content.
