Damn this looks really good. Data-first SQL integrated interfaces always get a +1 from me, managing resources without unified abstractions is always painful, especially when you have to do this at scale, standard CLIs always end up falling short in some way

Also, relevant tool for similar applications (albeit not SQL based): https://github.com/cloud-custodian/cloud-custodian

Thanks! This is definitely one of the use-cases to have an SQL abstraction of many resources. Also the idea is to be able to define rules in cross-account, cross-apps - For example: making a rule/notification that depends on information in Okta and in GCP/AWS (This is pretty simple with SQL join).

Regarding Custodian - This is definitely a great tool with it's own advantages. Some of the dis-advantages that lead me to start cloudquery is that it has a proprietary query language that you have to learn and as such is more limited than SQL (The example above won't be possible out-of-the-box).
