For our current project we are using a C# WebApi backend, which connects to a MySQL database hosted on RDS and AWS Athena for the big data part. The MySQL part is handled through nHibernate, but I'm personally not happy with this framework and would rather see it replaced by something a little more lightweight and easier to use. As for AWS Athena, I tend to think the cloud services pitch themselves. We had to search for a scalable and affordable big data solution and AWS Athena came out as a winner. It is really fast on the queries we are running, easy to update and cheaper then any other solution.
