My favourite is AWS Athena (backed by Trino).

"If we use this we get indefinite RAM indefinite CPU and do not need to host a server".

I had an impression that DuckDB was not great at distributing work to other machines, but good at doing it locally? Am I wrong?

DuckDB out of the box may not be great. But you have DuckLake, Quack, and even DeepSeek made their own distributed DB based on DuckDB: https://github.com/deepseek-ai/smallpond

I don't think DuckDB itself can coordinate work across multiple nodes. But you could put it behind an HTTP layer and scale horizontally based on resource utilization?

Athena + Clickhouse has been an absolute game changer for us. Perfect combo for OLAP + deeper filtering that we can’t necessarily pre-index for.
