CloudQuery is an open-source context engine for cloud infrastructure that syncs data from more than 80 sources. It standardizes information from AWS, GCP, Azure, GitHub, Okta and others into a relational schema that users can query with standard SQL. Data can be sent to destinations such as Postgres, BigQuery, Snowflake and S3. CloudQuery Platform supports more than 70 source integrations and processes synced data into a built-in ClickHouse database for inventory, SQL Console, policies and reports. An MCP server in PostgreSQL or Snowflake mode lets AI agents and internal systems query synced data without a Platform subscription. Users can run CloudQuery on infrastructure they control, with data staying within their network unless configured otherwise. Syncs are defined in version-controlled YAML, and SDKs for Go, Python, JavaScript and Java can be used to build unsupported sources. The free plan has a 1M-row limitation; billing counts each record every time it is synced toward annual rows. The CLI is available for macOS, Windows and Linux.
Who it is for
CloudQuery suits teams that need to collect and query cloud infrastructure data across multiple sources. It also fits users who want to run syncs on infrastructure they control or build integrations with SDKs.
What is good
- Syncs data from more than 80 sources.
- Infrastructure data can be queried with standard SQL.
- Sync definitions can be version-controlled in YAML.
- MCP querying does not require a Platform subscription.
What to know first
- Free plan has a 1M-row limitation.
- Annual row billing counts records every time they sync.
- Cloud infrastructure credentials require securing the machine running CloudQuery.
Verdict
CloudQuery provides a flexible route to normalize and query infrastructure data, with self-hosting and custom integration options. Its row-based billing and credential security guidance are important considerations before deployment.
