Want to win some CloudQuery swag? We’re giving away **t-shirts, mugs, and sweatshirts** for running a couple of CloudQuery syncs and answering some questions.

## How It Works

We’ve loaded AWS infrastructure data into a **public, read-only Postgres database**. Your mission:

1. Sync the data with CloudQuery to your destination of choice (SQLite, DuckDB, Postgres, whatever)

2. Write SQL queries to find wasteful resources

3. Post your results

4. Claim your prizes

**No AWS credentials needed.** Just CloudQuery CLI and your querying skills.

## The Challenges & Prizes

**Level 1:** Find unattached EBS volumes → **CloudQuery T-shirt** 👕  
**Level 2:** Find volumes on stopped instances → **CloudQuery Mug** ☕  
**Level 3:** Find ALL resources with public IPs → **CloudQuery Sweatshirt** 🧥

Complete one, two, or all three—each challenge you finish earns you swag.
