Case Study: GitHub gains visibility into security, compliance, and cost management with CloudQuery

GitHub uses CloudQuery to analyze open issues older than 7 days

GitHub, a source-control provider for developers, needed better visibility into the security, compliance, and cost-management of its cloud infrastructure. To address this challenge, they implemented the CloudQuery open-source framework, utilizing its GitHub source plugin to sync their data into a PostgreSQL database.

The solution implemented by CloudQuery enabled GitHub to use standard SQL queries to analyze its data. This allowed them to quickly identify public repositories, monitor organization billing, and find long-standing open issues. While specific metrics are not provided in the case study, the result was a single-pane-of-glass view into their infrastructure, improving their security and operational posture. CloudQuery provided a flexible, self-hosted tool that transformed GitHub's raw data into actionable insights.
