Great question! We specifically started with connectors/plugins to cloud infrastructure providers and other infrastructure vendors - This is why most of our users migrated and/or compared us to the tools specified here (https://www.cloudquery.io/docs/cq-vs-others/overview https://www.cloudquery.io/docs/cq-vs-others/overview). There are no connectors for AWS, GCP, Azure in FiveTran, Airbyte, Meltano but as we extend the number of our source plugins I believe this question will come up more and we will add those products as well to our comparison list. The protocol is just standard/plain gRPC (https://www.cloudquery.io/docs/developers/architecture https://www.cloudquery.io/docs/developers/architecture).
