    Computer Software

It just works. All the benefits without the hassle

  • July 06, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Simplicty of connecting it with other services, such as Aiven for Apache Flink.

Getting the service set up and ready to go with a click of a button was very nice, having set it up manually once before.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have a problem that if kafka is slow or high cpu, my API´s sending to it start timing out.
It feels like i will need a pubsub in between my API and kafka to increase reliability
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Streaming events into flink for aggregation and transformation, which significantly reduces the data down for us before we stream it into postgresSQL

Aiven manages the service, so we can use more time to help develop features.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would have to say the price. After we migrated to Aiven the costs have increased.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Aiven manages patching, upgrades, cluster configuration and other managent tasks. The benefit for us is that we don't have to invest in knowledge and time for this.
