CloudQuery

Sync cloud infrastructure into your own database, then ask compliance questions of it.

80
sovereignty

An ELT framework that pulls cloud, SaaS and identity configuration into Postgres or a warehouse you own. Compliance becomes a query against your own data rather than a feature of somebody's platform, which also makes the evidence yours to keep.

What it does well

  • +The evidence lands in a database you control and can retain for years
  • +Broad source coverage beyond cloud — identity, SaaS, code hosting
  • +Fits teams that already have a warehouse and BI layer

Where it falls short

  • You build the compliance logic; it ships the data, not the verdict
  • Several plugins and features sit behind the commercial tier
  • Furthest of these from anything an auditor would recognise unaided
