steampipe VS cloudquery

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!

Check out CloudQuery - https://github.com/cloudquery/cloudquery for an easy cloud asset inventory.

There both do something like what you're looking for.... https://github.com/cloudquery/cloudquery https://github.com/openraven/magpie

Unified API is a holly grail but as many said quite difficult to abstract every use case in a scalable way that won't break. At CloudQuery (https://github.com/cloudquery/cloudquery) we focus solely on the ELT use-case(Founder/Maintainer here).

Congrats!! How does it compare to the ELT space and the modern data stack where you have ingestion/storage/visualization layers decoupled?

Asking as the founder of CloudQuery (https://github.com/cloudquery/cloudquery), Saw Datasette quite a few times around data exploration but curious to hear about the most popular use-cases of Datasette!

Congrats!! We also focus on performance at CloudQuery (https://github.com/cloudquery/cloudquery) by using Golang, gRPC and still trying to be abstract enough to support different databases :)

In any case good luck!

CloudQuery for ETL

Another ELT framework that's an alternative to Airbyte

Another alternate ELT

Check out CloudQuery, we have PostgreSQL source connectors and S3 destination that supports parquet (Disclaimer: Maintainer and founder here)

Hello! Im Yevgeny, Founder & maintainer at CloudQuery . We've built CloudQuery as an open source high performance ELT framework so you should get pretty good results syncing all your cloud assets from high number of accounts (we have users syncing more than 10K Azure subscription and thousands of AWS accounts concurrently).
