I like steampipe but found the use of postgres a bit heavy for my use cases.

Could you make it run with pg_lite in wasm or DuckDB?

In addition to Postgres FDWs, Steampipe plugins are also available as a SQLite extension [1] or a CLI export tool [2] for lighter weight use cases. (Although a local Postgres has a surprisingly small footprint!) Building plugins as DuckDB extensions would be cool too, but we haven't done that yet.

This is awesome!

I last played with it over a year ago and I see that blog post is from Dec 2023. Looking forward to trying out the sqlite extension.

DuckDB would be great or accessible through DataFusion!

Looking forward to see what you will build next!
