CloudZero
Let AI connect your sources for you
Skip the manual setup — run this in your project and the wizard auto-detects your databases and APIs and connects them to PostHog.
Connect CloudZero to PostHog to sync your data into the PostHog data warehouse for analysis and modeling.
Enter your CloudZero API key. Grant it billing:read_dimensions so PostHog can check the connection, then add a scope for each table you want to sync: billing:read_costs for costs, budgets:read_budgets for budgets, insights:read_insights for insights, and optimize:list_recommendations plus optimize:list_recommendation_types for recommendations. You set these in CloudZero under Settings > API Keys.
