It started as an open-source SQL-oriented cloud visibility tool and evolved into an integration-based ELT and governance platform. ### Project history CloudQuery's official SDK announcement says the project was released at the end of the prior year to give developers, SREs, and security engineers an open-source way to gain deep visibility into cloud infrastructure using SQL. The same post explains that the early project grew quickly enough to motivate a provider SDK and plugin architecture. By its Series A announcement, CloudQuery described itself as an open-source ELT platform focused on cloud infrastructure, with plugin-based architecture and broad resource coverage across major cloud and infrastructure providers. Later official docs describe the CLI as orchestrating source, transformer, and destination integrations over gRPC, with configuration in YAML and syncs triggered by cloudquery sync. ### Adoption history CloudQuery moved from developer CLI into a broader cloud-governance product while keeping the package-manager-friendly CLI central. Official materials report rapid early GitHub growth, later funding, enterprise customer traction, and a CloudQuery Platform built around cloud asset inventory, security, compliance, FinOps, and automation workflows. ### How it is used Users create YAML source and destination configuration, then run cloudquery sync to extract cloud or SaaS metadata and load it into systems such as PostgreSQL, BigQuery, Snowflake, S3, or other supported destinations. The docs emphasize that the CLI runs in the user's environment, with source integrations fetching external API data and destinations writing it to the configured store. ### Why package nerds care CloudQuery is significant in package-manager culture because it packages a plugin-orchestrating data plane as a CLI: Homebrew users get a single cloudquery command that can download and run integrations, while the actual data pipeline is declared in versioned YAML. It also illustrates the modern split between an open-source CLI, a plugin registry, premium integrations, and a hosted platform. ### Timeline - 2020: CloudQuery was released near the end of the year, according to the official SDK announcement. - 2021: CloudQuery announced its SDK after growing more than 1.3K GitHub stars in under five months. - 2022: CloudQuery announced Series A funding and described the project as an open-source ELT platform for cloud infrastructure. - 2023: CloudQuery documented mandatory login/API-key changes for some CLI use cases. - 2025: CloudQuery introduced a new platform built around cloud governance and 70+ official sources. - 2026: Current docs describe the CLI's integration architecture, YAML configuration, and cloudquery sync workflow. ### Related projects - CloudQuery is related to ELT and connector frameworks, cloud asset inventory systems, security posture and compliance tools, and infrastructure query tools. Official docs also point to its own Integration SDK, source integrations such as AWS, GCP, Azure, GitHub, and Okta, and destination integrations such as PostgreSQL, BigQuery, Snowflake, and S3. ### Sources - - - - - - - ## Security Notes infrastructure mutation or orchestration signal. - **Geiger risk:** orange / medium - infrastructure mutation or orchestration signal ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** cloudquery - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - Chocolatey - cloudquery: normalized package name match | Chocolatey community package catalog: cloudquery from http://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/Packages?$filter=IsLatestVersion&$select=Id&$top=1000&$skiptoken='11','chocolatey-preinstaller-checks.extension' ## Related links - [Secret-risk packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/secret-risk-packages/) - Has protected-tool coverage, approval-gate, or non-low Geiger security signals. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [go](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/go/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [kettle](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/kettle/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, data, data-integration. - [nifi](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/nifi/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, data, data-integration. - [nifi-registry](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/nifi-registry/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, data, data-integration. - [nifi-toolkit](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/nifi-toolkit/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, data, data-integration. - [conduit](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/conduit/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, data, data-integration. - [electric](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/electric/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, data, sync. - [git-annex](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/git-annex/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, data, sync. - [kitchen-sync](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/kitchen-sync/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, data, sync. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
