CloudQuery is a high-performance open-source ELT framework built for developers. CloudQuery extracts data from cloud APIs and loads it into databases, data lakes, or streaming platforms for further analysis.

With raw infrastructure data, CloudQuery users are building solutions for security, cost, and governance use cases by writing SQL queries. Querying raw infrastructure SQL provides more flexibility and coverage than an opinionated DevOps tool could provide.

In this episode, I chat with Yevgeny Pats, CEO and co-founder at CloudQuery. We cover the "why now?" for infrastructure data, and the change in mindset observed among infrastructure and security engineers and their shift to using data lakes.
