CloudQuery
The open-source cloud asset inventory powered by SQL.
Overview
CloudQuery is an open-source, high-performance data integration tool that allows you to treat your cloud infrastructure as a database. It extracts configuration data from cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure, etc.) and loads it into a PostgreSQL database. This enables you to use standard SQL to query for security issues, misconfigurations, and infrastructure drift by comparing current state with a desired state baseline.
✨ Key Features
- Open-source ELT framework
- Broad provider support (>50 sources)
- Query cloud assets with SQL
- Policy and compliance checks
- Drift detection via SQL queries
- Managed Cloud offering
🎯 Key Differentiators
- SQL-based approach for maximum flexibility
- Extensive library of provider integrations
- High-performance ELT architecture
- Strong open-source community
Unique Value: Transforms your entire cloud and SaaS infrastructure into a relational database, enabling powerful, flexible, and universal querying with SQL.
