Easy and powerful way to run Kafka as a service
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to setup and integration with Avro, which we use for building schemas for data serializer. Also very easy to get it initially up and running, view, frontend interfaces, very clear and logical.
What do you dislike about the product?
The validation for the Avro schema in Avro interface is frontend-level. Perhaps it would be a nice idea to prevent sending an invalid Avro schema when calling Aiven API directly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Both using Kafka as a service centralize our Avro schema registry so applications can fetch it remotely in runtime-level.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give a try ;)

It's a little expensive, but that's about it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are doing credit scoring and use Aiven kafka as a message bus for our scoring system. We built a full suite of streaming services around it.
Easy, reliable and competitively priced Kafka
What do you like best about the product?
The technical reliability with Aiven is fantastic. In the rare case that something does go wrong, one can count on Aiven putting their best foot forward in support situations.
What do you dislike about the product?
Aiven is still an up and coming provider and there are rough edges being solved over time. For more total or exotic use cases that could present a problem with lead time, as you might have to negotiate the needed features being implemented.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All operational (transactional, real-time and cache) database storage is hosted on Aiven. The reliability and ecosystem support of Aiven Kafka specifically has allowed us to transition more and more towards automated real time functionality where before it was technically infeasible.
I really recommend aiven
