Company profile
researched Aug 2026CloudQuery provides a queryable data layer over cloud and SaaS configuration data for platform engineering, cloud operations, security, and governance teams. It syncs configuration data from sources such as AWS, GCP, Azure, GitHub, Kubernetes, Okta, Cloudflare, GitLab, Oracle, PagerDuty, and Wiz into normalized tables that can be sent to destinations including PostgreSQL, BigQuery, Snowflake, and S3, and then queried with SQL. The company states 70+ official integrations, with a hub listing further community and premium connectors.
The product is offered in two forms: an open-source-rooted CLI (a composable asset inventory that runs on the customer's own infrastructure, so data does not pass through CloudQuery's servers) and a fully managed Platform with a web UI. Platform capabilities include scheduled syncs, asset inventory, a SQL console with historical snapshots and an AI query writer, SQL-based policies, insights, reports and alerts, data exports, an MCP server, an AI assistant, single sign-on, role-based user management, audit logging, and a Platform API. Stated use cases are cloud asset inventory, cloud security posture management and compliance, cloud governance, FinOps cost attribution, cloud CMDB, and platform engineering.
The marketed workflow combines visibility with automation: users query their estate in natural language or SQL, define detective policies in SQL (for example flagging untagged or expensive running EC2 instances), and configure event-driven workflows that trigger on drift, cost spikes, or policy violations to send alerts, create tickets, or call webhooks.
Founding story
CloudQuery was started in 2021 around the premise that while logs were largely addressed by existing observability vendors, cloud configuration data remained locked behind numerous, poorly documented provider APIs or inside opinionated data models of point security products. The founders argued that config data requires an updateable, relational data model supporting joins across assets, users, and other infrastructure state, leading to an open-source ELT framework and SQL-queryable normalized schema. Yevgeny Pats is identified as founder and CEO.
Business model
Commercial software company offering a free/open-source CLI and paid premium integrations alongside a fully managed SaaS platform sold via demos and direct sales; the integration hub distinguishes free and premium plugins.
Subscription-based platform and premium integrations; the company reported ARR growth of 3.5x in one period and 4x over the year preceding its 2025 funding round.
Traction
Reported quadrupled ARR and quadrupled customer base over the year preceding June 2025, including four Fortune 500 financial institutions; team size doubled; an earlier period saw 3.5x revenue growth. The open-source repository has 6.5k stars and 555 forks, and the company lists 70+ official source integrations.
Latest developments
In June 2025 CloudQuery announced a $16M funding round led by Partech with participation from Boldstart, Tiger Global, and Work-Bench, to fund AI-assisted multi-cloud asset inventory capabilities and enterprise go-to-market. The company also acquired Tailwarden, launched the CloudQuery Platform and CloudQuery Insights, and has announced that it is joining env0.

Market position
Positions itself as a developer-first cloud governance and multi-cloud asset intelligence platform, contrasted with siloed point solutions for security, cost, and inventory. Named customers include Reddit, Fastly, Zendesk, Palo Alto Networks, and Ridgeline.
Emphasis on a developer-first, code-first and composable approach: normalized data queryable with standard SQL rather than a fixed vendor data model, joins across cloud, security, FinOps, and identity sources, evaluation of live infrastructure rather than only IaC or static scans, an open and extensible multi-language plugin system, and the ability to run entirely on customer infrastructure so data never touches CloudQuery servers.
Technology
An ELT/data-pipeline framework powered by Apache Arrow, with an open plugin SDK allowing connectors to be written in Go, Python, JavaScript, and Java. Data is normalized into SQL-queryable tables and loaded into databases and warehouses; the managed platform is built on technologies including ClickHouse and Apache Arrow and handles API rate limiting, retries, error monitoring, and scaling. Additional components include an AI assistant and AI query writer, SQL-based policy engine, and an MCP server.
Go-to-market
Open-source CLI and public GitHub project (6.5k stars, 555 forks) as a developer-led entry point, an integrations hub, extensive documentation and tutorials, case studies, and a demo-led enterprise sales motion; the 2025 funding round was earmarked partly for scaling Fortune 500 go-to-market and strategic partnerships.
Platform engineering, cloud operations, cloud governance, security and compliance, and FinOps teams, including large enterprises and Fortune 500 companies in financial services, technology, healthcare, automotive, and gaming.
History
Founded in 2021 with the aim of democratizing cloud infrastructure configuration data, CloudQuery first released an open-source ELT framework powered by Apache Arrow with connectors to 70+ sources. After roughly eight months of development it launched a managed, developer-first cloud governance platform adding managed data pipelines, unified asset inventory, and a SQL console. It acquired Tailwarden, and in June 2025 announced a $16M round led by Partech. Its website subsequently announced that CloudQuery is joining env0.
Risks & controversies
Some code that was previously open source has been moved to closed source, with the affected files listed for reference in the repository; a portion of the integration catalog is premium rather than free.
