On: Launch HN: Hydra (YC W22) – Query any database via Postgres

[nathanwallace]

Steampipe [1] is an open source [2] project that uses Postgres FDWs to query 67+ cloud services (e.g. AWS, GitHub, Prometheus). The plugins [3] are written in Go similar to Terraform. We've found this approach very effective for DevOps data and pushdown works well for most (simple) cases. (Disclaimer: I'm a lead on the project.)

This is awesome! I just have to ask, what's your monetization plan?

(I see your company has some pretty big costumers, but I suppose you're not just selling them a cloud version of Steampipe)

Turbot [1] is a bootstrapped company since 2014. Our namesake product is a cloud governance platform with a real-time CMDB, identity suite, policy engine and thousands of automated operations for tagging, security, deployment, etc.

Steampipe Cloud [2] is in private preview providing a hosted version of Steampipe (and more). We're iterating fast and would love your feedback :-)

Whoa, how have I not heard of this before?

If it's OSS, I am definitely interested in experimenting with this. Maybe I can write a blogpost or something?

[nathanwallace → gavinray]

Yes, the CLI, FDW, plugins and mods are all open source. Please let us know how you go - we thrive on feedback :-)
