Understanding Foreign Data Wrappers in Postgres and Postgres_fdw

  Zero-ETL, infinite possibilities. Live query APIs, code & more with SQL. No DB required.

  

If you are interested in Postgres FDWs, please check out Steampipe (https://steampipe.io). It's an open source project with a Go-based plugin model (similar to Terraform) to instantly query cloud services (AWS, GCP, GitHub, Slack, etc) using SQL. TBH, we've been completely shocked how far we can push this model querying real-time against APIs.

We're bullish on the ELT use case and think of virtual tables as "Data Rainbows" - structured, ephemeral access to cloud data. I spoke about this concept for YOW Data (https://youtu.be/2BNzIU5SFaw?t=183). Still structuring our thoughts here, so feedback and ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Disclaimers: Steampipe is open source. I'm a lead on the project. I can't stand listening to my own talk.
