SQLAnvil Cloud
SQLAnvil Cloud is the hosted control plane for your SQLAnvil projects. The open-source CLI compiles and runs your SQL workflows; Cloud adds the layer around it — connecting your repo, brokering warehouse connections, running branch CI on pull requests, scheduling workflows, and giving you a web dashboard to review and operate it all.
It runs at app.sqlanvil.com.
What Cloud adds over the CLI
Section titled “What Cloud adds over the CLI”| Open-source CLI | SQLAnvil Cloud | |
|---|---|---|
| Compile + run SQL | ✅ | ✅ (hosted) |
| Selection (tags, deps) | ✅ | ✅ |
| Branch CI on PRs | DIY | ✅ turnkey |
| Scheduled workflows | DIY (cron) | ✅ |
| Run history + dashboard | — | ✅ |
| Connect a GitHub repo | — | ✅ |
Cloud is agent-native and self-service — there’s no IDE to learn and no support desk. You author with your own tools (CLI, agents), and Cloud handles review and operation.
The shape of a project
Section titled “The shape of a project”- Sign in with GitHub and create a project.
- Connect a repo — install the SQLAnvil GitHub App and pick the repository that holds your SQL project.
- Configure a warehouse connection — the target your models run against.
- Open pull requests → SQLAnvil runs branch CI and reports back on the PR.
- Set up workflows to run on a cadence.
Sign in
Section titled “Sign in”Cloud uses Sign in with GitHub — the same account that hosts your code. There’s no separate password to manage; GitHub verifies your identity. The first time you connect a repository you’ll also install the SQLAnvil GitHub App (a separate step — see Connect a repo).
