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.
