CloudQuery Plots Revolution in Cloud Governance, Bridging Data Silos with $16M Funding

Cloud platforms are evolving at a swift pace, creating enormous data sprawl and fragmented cloud estates. Managing such a kaleidoscope of data across various platforms has become a formidable challenge for enterprises. Enter CloudQuery, a forward-thinking cloud governance company eager to make a radical shift in enterprise cloud management.

By centralizing cloud assets, security metadata, and cost in a single accessible platform, CloudQuery seeks to simplify cloud governance, making it more intuitive and less of a hassled patchwork. Offering a ‘developer-first’ approach, this innovative startup draws data from an impressive list of 60+ sources — including significant players like AWS, GCP, Azure, Okta, and Wiz — into a single, queryable data warehouse.

Having secured a substantial $16 million in funding led by venture capital firm Partech, CloudQuery is poised to scale its innovative approach, aiming to improve visibility in the nebulous field of cloud estates.

Under its hood, the company employs data warehouse and open-source database ClickHouse and the Apache Arrow framework. These powerful tools pull in configuration, security, and cost metadata from various adjacent platforms like AWS, Azure, and GCP, resulting in a continuous, updated stream of cloud data from a multitude of providers and services.

This strategic direction is ensured by founder Yevgeny Pats, who emphasizes current and accurate data, ensuring teams work with reliable, up-to-date information. The firm also leverages large language models (LLMs) for natural language querying, SQL generation, and recommendations, on top of a foundation of transparent and accurate data.

CloudQuery’s future-defining approach puts developers at its heart. By offering access to flexible APIs and native language like SQL, the company empowers these vital industry players to build, operate, and secure future cloud infrastructures in a more effective, swift, and secure manner.
