Cloudquery transforms your cloud infrastructure into queryable SQL tables go Graphs for easy monitoring, governance, and security. What is cloudquery and why use it? cloudquery pulls, normalize, exposes and monitors your cloud infrastructure and SaaS apps as SQL or Graph(Neo4j) database. This abstracts various scattered APIs enabling you to define security, governance, cost, and compliance policies with SQL or Cypher(Neo4j). cloudquery can be easily extended to more resources and SaaS providers (open an Issue). cloudquery comes with built-in policy packs such as AWS CIS (more is coming!). Think about cloudquery as a compliance-as-code tool inspired by tools like osquery and terraform, cool right?
