Curator's notes

SQL interface for querying cloud APIs, code, and other resources without requiring ETL or a database.

Visitors ask

What is Zero-ETL?

Zero-ETL means querying your cloud directly as a live database without waiting for ETL synchronization. Your cloud changes fast, so Steampipe allows you to crunch data where it's born, fueling new use cases and swift decisions without relying on old synced data.

Why use SQL for cloud querying?

SQL has been the data access standard for decades. It levels the playing field for teams, easily integrates with other systems, and accelerates delivery. With Steampipe, you get a common SQL interface to work faster and avoid writing one-off scripts.

How does Steampipe connect to multiple clouds?

Steampipe provides a uniform interface to AWS, Azure, GCP and other clouds. This allows you to query all your cloud providers with one common SQL interface rather than learning separate tools for each cloud.

What data can you join in Steampipe?

You can painlessly join live cloud configuration data with internal or external data sets to create new insights and cross-cloud visibility.

Does Steampipe require a database?

No. Steampipe is open source and requires no database. You can install it as a PostgreSQL FDW or SQLite extension to instantly query your infrastructure and cloud APIs.
