help CloudQuery FAQ

What is CloudQuery used for?

It's an open-source ELT tool that syncs data from cloud providers — AWS, Azure, GCP, and many more sources — into databases like PostgreSQL for SQL querying. Common uses include cloud asset inventory and security posture checks.

Is CloudQuery open source?

Yes — the core is open source with a plugin-based architecture, offered alongside a managed CloudQuery Cloud product. Plugins handle each source and destination, and the community can build new ones.

CloudQuery vs Steampipe: what's the difference?

Both let you query cloud APIs with SQL, but Steampipe works as a Postgres extension for interactive querying, while CloudQuery is a standalone sync tool that materializes data into a destination on a schedule. Steampipe leans toward exploration; CloudQuery toward pipelines.

What language is CloudQuery written in?

The core and most plugins are written in Go, which keeps it a single easy-to-deploy binary. Writing a custom source plugin is a documented path, including via its plugin protocol for other languages.
