CloudMapper vs Steampipe
GitHub Stats
About CloudMapper
CloudMapper is a tool for visualizing and analyzing Amazon Web Services (AWS) environments. It generates network diagrams, identifying security risks and architectural flaws by mapping out VPCs, subnets, and other resources. The tool aids in understanding complex AWS setups and spotting potential vulnerabilities in the network design. CloudMapper is particularly useful for security audits and compliance checks, offering insights into the cloud infrastructure's security posture.
About Steampipe
Steampipe is an open-source tool from Turbot that lets you query cloud infrastructure, SaaS services, and more using standard SQL. Rather than learning dozens of CLI tools and API formats, you write SQL queries against a unified schema powered by PostgreSQL. With over 140 plugins covering AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, GitHub, Slack, and many others, Steampipe provides a single pane of glass for infrastructure visibility. Its compliance frameworks (called Mods) include pre-built benchmarks for CIS, NIST, PCI DSS, and SOC 2, making it a powerful tool for both security auditing and operational troubleshooting. Steampipe also supports dashboards for visualization and can export results in JSON, CSV, or markdown.
