Turbot: Piping for cloud SecOps, automation, and platform engineering

An Intellyx Brain Candy Update

Turbot [pronounced tur-BAWT] has expanded on its vision of a hybrid cloud governance and security observability platform with a new SQL-or-HCL-based “dashboards-as-code” capability and open source contributions for continuous insights and data movement across cloud deployment environments since our last visit with them in 2020.

TurbotTheir new Steampipe open source project comes with many FDWs (foreign data wrappers) which allow engineers to make live queries of almost any data layer or connected API using SQL, and get back data results in tabular or graph format, without needing to mess with low-code tools or migrate source data. 

Flowpipe is another open source project focused on the connection and movement of data so it can be leveraged for workflow and automation purposes across developer collaboration tools like ServiceNow, Slack, etc.

These high-utility components then fuel the company’s commercial Guardrails platform service for continuous change visibility, observability and compliance checking, and the Pipes managed service for faster scaling of their ‘zero-ETL’ data pipelines between sources and destinations, with pre-built automation and monitoring modules for specific teams and tasks.
