Important Update: CloudQuery Official Free Plugins Moving to Paid

Edit (June 14, 2024)
At the time of publishing this announcement, the AWS, GCP, and Azure integrations still had a subset of tables that were free to sync. The latest versions of these integrations have the free tables reduced to only tables that contain static data with large amount of rows, such as aws_appstream_images or azure_authorization_provider_operations_metadata. These tables are marked as Free in the integration documentation.

Edit (December 18, 2024)
Documented the process of upgrading CloudQuery integration from free to paid tier.

We recently announced that we were moving our integrations from free to paid, starting with AWS, GCP, and Azure. Today we are finalizing those with other integrations in order to ensure that CloudQuery is sustainable and can provide the highest quality integrations.

Here is what this means for you:

• Free Usage Up to a Quota: You can still leverage the functionality of our paid integrations, up to a designated monthly quota. This allows you to explore the power of CloudQuery without initial investment.
• Pay-Per-Row for Continued Usage: Once your usage exceeds the monthly quota, a fee will be applied based on the number of rows processed. This ensures fair pricing based on your actual needs. See our pricing page for the details.
• Open Source Legacy Available: We understand the value of open-source contributions. Previous versions of our free integrations will remain available on our GitHub repository for those who prefer this model. However, old versions won’t be maintained.
• New Free Integrations: We will continue to accept free integrations for the Hub. Those will be community-supported with no SLA..
• What is open source: CloudQuery SDKs are open source under the permissive Mozilla Public License (MPL) to enable users to write their own custom integrations and use the same engine that powers the official CloudQuery integrations.

This change empowers us to dedicate more resources to developing new features and functionality for all CloudQuery users.

We appreciate your understanding and continued support. If you have any questions about these changes, please do not hesitate to reach out to our team.
