Celebrating 4 Years of CloudQuery! Onward and upward!

CloudQuery just turned 4 years old and I wanted to take a short moment and reflect on the journey and especially on the last year as it’s pretty cool to see what we all achieved (It’s also the longest time I ever worked in a single company so it means it’s a cool place to work - totally objective).

The last 12 months were quite a ride!

Cloud config is what we believe is the 4th missing piece of observability (logs, traces, metrics, and config) and a cornerstone to effective cloud governance. Extracting, monitoring, and getting value insights from cloud configs require a completely different approach, and that’s what we are tackling here at CloudQuery!

And we still have some cool announcements to make this month, so stay tuned. Onward and upward!

Self-hosted, open source, and free to start. Or schedule a demo to see the managed version.
