Along with mentioned AWS Athena, I would mention Presto that Athena is based on. But Athena is based on pretty old Presto distribution, and lacks newer features that make Presto more usable for big geospatial analysis. Most importantly — Presto recently got a scalable geospatial join, which Athena lacks.
