Introducing Steampipe - select * from cloud
summary
Steampipe turns cloud and platform APIs into live SQL tables so queries run like regular SQL against AWS, Azure, GCP and 150+ other sources, with plugins written in Go and an embedded PostgreSQL foreign data wrapper under the hood. Installable via CLI or container, reachable over JDBC, it outputs CSV/JSON, supports JOINs across clouds, and exposes a default 15-minute cache for faster repeat queries. Example claim: add a plugin and run select from "your_favorite_resource"* to fetch live resource rows.
