      Steampipe has their own cloud at https://steampipe.io/docs/cloud/overview

      Alternative is Cloudquery but they don't offer cloud anymore. https://www.cloudquery.io/

      Plug, not based on Steampipe, but we also offer similar managed SQL on your cloud assets. https://www.resmo.com/

      Great post. Pg replication is a hard topic with lots of edge cases and I would say its still far from end user usability. We recently introduced PG cdc (via logical replication) to any destination https://www.cloudquery.io/blog/postgres-cdc-to-any-destination

      I wrote a blog detailing what this change means on S3 ACLs and Block Public Access on by default: https://www.cloudquery.io/blog/finding-enabled-s3-acls-and-disabled-s3-block-public-access

      There is another contender in infrasql realm called cloudquery[1]. Steampipe has been around for very long. Mind you the steampipe has an AGPL license.

      Much more of a focus on security and infrastructure than other EL tools. Like these security policies for example - https://www.cloudquery.io/docs/core-concepts/policies

    • cddotdotslashNov 2021

      Interesting! Feels similar to CloudQuery[1] which is also open source.
