About CloudQuery
CloudQuery is an open-source context engine for cloud infrastructure. It syncs data from 80+ cloud and SaaS sources into a database of the user's choice, such as Postgres, BigQuery, Snowflake, or S3. The tool is self-hosted and runs as a single binary on Linux, macOS, or Windows.
Users define sources in YAML configuration files and run syncs once or on a schedule. CloudQuery standardizes data across providers, allowing users to query everything with standard SQL. It is suited for teams that need to build cloud asset inventory, CSPM, FinOps, or vulnerability management solutions.
