AutoHotkey VS steampipe

AutoHotkey is what made me fall love programming after disliking it after getting my degree. After switching to a macbook, AutoHotkey is probably what I miss most from being on Windows. It really has it all.

My old suite had:

- Universal VIM movement w/ CapsLock

- App launch hotkeys

- App-specific hotkeys

- Easy text-expansion

Hasn't been updated in years, but here is the repo for those interested: https://github.com/denolfe/autohotkey

Or a nice boilerplate to start from: https://github.com/denolfe/AutoHotkeyBoilerplate

I used to be a very heavy AHK user and developer a rather extensive config. Here is my config along with a boilerplate to help you start one that is similar:

Steampipe is a tool for querying cloud APIs and other data sources using SQL in a zero-ETL manner.

Readers may also enjoy Steampipe [1], an open source CLI to live query Google Sheets [2] and 140+ other services with SQL (e.g. AWS, GitHub, etc). It uses Postgres Foreign Data Wrappers under the hood and supports joins etc across the services. (Disclaimer - I'm a lead on the project.)

be mindful of its AGPLv3 https://github.com/turbot/steampipe/blob/v0.21.8/LICENSE (AFAIK v0.4.3 is the last MIT release https://github.com/turbot/steampipe/blob/v0.4.3/LICENSE ) and the actual providers are Apache 2 <https://github.com/turbot/steampipe-plugin-aws/blob/v0.131.0...> (but I don't know if provider drift makes them compatible with 0.4 or not)

iasql seems to be AWS only, but good for them for taking this on:

In a prior post I showed how to install Steampipe in AWS CloudShell to instantly query over 460+ resource types from your AWS APIs using SQL, and another post on how to use the Steampipe AWS Compliance mod to assess over 25+ security benchmarks across your AWS accounts.

Readers may find Steampipe's [1] AWS Thrifty Mod [2] useful. It will automatically scan multiple accounts and regions for 50 cost saving opportunities - many of which are looking for over-provisioned or unused resources. For example, it's crazy how much you can save by doing things like just converting your EBS volumes to the newer gp3 type. Combine with Flowpipe [3] to automate checks and actions. It's all open source and extensible.

Steampipe [1] is an open source project [2] that includes an embedded Postgres to instantly query cloud, code & more with SQL. This release expands our plugin ecosystem [3] to be a full Zero-ETL platform. Steampipe plugins can now run natively in your own Postgres as Foreign Data Wrappers [4], as SQLite extensions [5] or as simple data export tools [6]. Please give it a try, we'd love your feedback and contributions!
