Creating a New Plugin

There are two main types of CloudQuery plugins:

• source plugins read data from a cloud provider, and
• destination plugins define a destination to write source data into. This is usually a database or file system.

Writing a Source Plugin

Source plugins were previously called Providers. See the following pages for more information on how to write these:

• Developing a New Provider
• Tutorial: Creating a New Provider

Writing a Target Plugin

This section is a work in progress. For now, raise an issue or reach out to us on Discord if you would like to request (or work on) a new destination plugin.
