Case Study: Reddit strengthens cloud security and visibility with CloudQuery

Reddit unifies cloud visibility across a dozen sources with CloudQuery

Reddit, one of the world's largest social platforms, faced significant challenges in maintaining visibility and governance across its complex, multi-cloud infrastructure spanning AWS and GCP. Their small security team struggled with fragmented, point-in-time data snapshots that required manual stitching, making it impossible to get a complete view of their cloud resources and ensure everything was configured securely. This lack of a centralized source of truth created a bottleneck for engineering, product, and GRC teams who needed cloud infrastructure data.

By implementing CloudQuery, Reddit consolidated its cloud infrastructure data into a single, queryable format. The solution provided complete visibility across all cloud providers, enabling teams to self-serve data via SQL and curated dashboards. This empowered other teams to work autonomously, freed up engineering hours, and strengthened Reddit's security posture. An unexpected benefit was the ability to discover and remediate resources not managed via infrastructure-as-code. CloudQuery provided a shared, authoritative source of truth that reduced operational friction and became a valuable tool for the entire company.
