CloudQuery Documentation

CloudQuery is a cloud infrastructure platform that gives platform engineering and cloud operations teams visibility, governance, and automation across their cloud estate.

Cloud visibility
SQL-powered
Policies & governance
Intelligent automation
70+ integrations
CLI & Platform

It syncs configuration data from cloud providers, SaaS applications, and APIs into a normalized, SQL-queryable data layer. You connect sources (AWS, GCP, Azure, GitHub, Okta, and hundreds more) and send data to destinations (PostgreSQL, BigQuery, Snowflake, S3, and others). Once synced, you can query your infrastructure with SQL to answer questions like: What resources exist across all accounts? Which ones are misconfigured? Where are we overspending?

Common Use Cases

  • Cloud asset inventory - A complete, queryable view of every resource across all cloud accounts.
  • Security and compliance - Continuous monitoring of infrastructure configuration against security and compliance requirements.
  • Cloud governance - Policy enforcement across your cloud estate, catching misconfigurations and violations regardless of how resources were created.
  • FinOps - Correlate resource configuration with cost data to identify waste and attribute spending to teams.

  • Integrations connect to your cloud providers and sync asset data into the platform.
  • ClickHouse serves as the data backend, storing all synced cloud asset data and views.
  • Platform features - queries, reports, alerts, policies, and automations - all operate on top of this data layer.
