CloudQuery: Move RAG Data with 18-Line YAML (Sponsored)

Problem

RAG applications need data from various sources moved into vector stores. Manual API integration means writing boilerplate for rate limiting, pagination, and error handling instead of building AI.

Key benefits:

• Pre-built connectors for AWS, GCP, Azure, and 100+ platforms
• Sync state persistence with incremental processing and automatic schema evolution
• Built-in PII removal, column obfuscation, and data cleaning for compliance
• Native pgvector support: text splitting, embeddings, semantic indexing for RAG
