The Brief

What CloudQuery does

CloudQuery is an open-source, self-hosted tool that syncs data from more than 80 cloud and SaaS sources into a database you control, such as Postgres, BigQuery, Snowflake, or S3. It is aimed at teams that manage cloud infrastructure and want to query it with SQL. Sources and destinations are defined in YAML, and syncs can run once or on a schedule. It includes an MCP server for querying synced data and an SDK for building custom sources in Go, Python, JavaScript, or Java. The software is free to run, and users pay for their own infrastructure plus usage-based billing for paid destinations. A Free tier at $0 has a 1M-row limit, and enterprise pricing is custom.
