Why CloudQuery?

We took care of everything, so you can do your job easily and efficiently.

Fast and reliable

CloudQuery’s efficient design means our syncs are fast and a sync from Kubernetes to PostgreSQL can be completed in a fraction of the time compared to other tools.

Easy to get started, easy to maintain

Kubernetes syncing using CloudQuery is easy to set up and maintain thanks to its simple YAML configuration. Once synced, you can use normal SQL queries to work with your data.

A new browser window will open where you will complete the sign-in process.

Auto-generate sync configuration

Run the following command to create a configuration file:

cloudquery init --source k8s --destination postgresql --spec-path k8s_to_postgresql.yaml

Step 2: Additional source and destination configuration (optional)

Kubernetes source plugin configuration

You can find more information about the configuration in the plugin documentation.

# k8s.yml kind: source spec: name: k8s path: cloudquery/k8s spec: # per documentation at:

PPostgreSQL plugin configuration

You can find more information about the configuration in the plugin documentation.

# postgresql.yml kind: destination spec: name: postgresql path: cloudquery/postgresql spec: # per documentation at:

Step 3: Run the sync

Step 1. Copy and paste the command to trigger the sync

cloudquery sync k8s_to_postgresql.yaml

PostgreSQL FAQ

Which database versions are supported?

The CloudQuery PostgreSQL integration supports syncing to PostgreSQL version 10 or higher and CockroachDB version 20.2 or higher.

Sync duration depends on several factors, but there are a number of CloudQuery features that ensure that syncs are as fast as possible. CloudQuery syncs data from Kubernetes to PostgreSQL in a streaming fashion using Apache Arrow. This means that as soon as it receives data from Kubernetes it delivers it to the PostgreSQL integration. This means that data is delivered as the sync progresses rather than only at the end.

Yes, you can configure multiple destination blocks for different PostgreSQL instances or databases.

Use indexing, partitioning, and batch inserts to manage large datasets effectively and minimize performance impacts.

Check CloudQuery logs for detailed error messages, validate connectivity settings, and monitor database performance using PostgreSQL’s built-in tools.

Kubernetes FAQ

What authentication information is required to run the sync from Kubernetes to PostgreSQL?

CloudQuery works on a similar basis to kubectl, the Kubernetes command line tool and will use information contained in a Kubernetes configuration file (also known as a kubeconfig file) to authenticate the sync. By default, CloudQuery will look for a file located at ~/.kube/config. If you want to use a different file, you can specify this by setting the KUBECONFIG environment variable to your chosen path.

By default, CloudQuery will use the contexts specificed in your Kubernetes configuration file. If you want to connect to different contexts, you can specify this by setting the contexts variable. This variable supports wildcard use, so if you want to connect to all available contexts, simply set the variable to *.
