Easy to Custom spec and upgrade spec
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to replicate more database, so from apps can balancing the load query
What do you dislike about the product?
difficult to custom disk size, because we need just extra disk size sometimes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Spine up a new replica database if traffic apps more than usual.
The benefit is we can adjust the load database into other replicas, and then it can provide prevention from bottlenecks occur on a database.

Very smart implementation of Kafka
What do you like best about the product?
Aiven managed to do an amicable and efficient cloud-based solution. In our company, we particularly liked the simplicity of the implementation and the low latency, which allowed us to operate with minimal overhead. The technical support is also quite good and very attentive to the details. Being a cloud native company Aiven manages to integrate seamelessly with most of our infrastructure without major issues.
We also particularly like their security, as they have demonstrated to be on top of their game regarding regarding patching, secure configuration and also with their own cloud infrastructure.The fact that they are inside the European Union also facilitates GDPR compliance.

What do you dislike about the product?
We didn't like (initially) that we couldn't roll it out in our GCP installation as that was our preferred solution. This was widely discussed internally as the main drawback compared to competitors.
However, after balancing the pros and cons, the managed cloud ended up being just fine for us.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are a very high traffic site with millions of restaurant reservations. We needed a stream solution that could elegantly handle this volume while simplifying our setup. We have found Kafka to cover most of our requirements which allowed us to scale up quite quickly without the traditional limitations of RDBMS.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Check the market to make sure it fits with your current infrastructure. Although it worked fine for all of us, it can be a different situation if you have a hybrid infrastructure or some other specific requirements. Fortunately, the Aiven team is very capable of doing this kind of assessment with you very honestly.
Apache Kafka on Aiven
What do you like best about the product?
The ease in which we can set up, transparency in billing, intuitive console
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing as such. But I would prefer running my Kafka Connect workloads on Aiven if I am using a Custom Connector
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are building a real-time event-driven application and Kafka acts as Central system for all other micro-services. We are reducing point-point communication among various services
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The billing part is what I like the most about Aiven. It's transparent and not ambiguous as one of Aiven's competitors. Apart from it, the console, usability, performance, migrations, etc are very good
Useful managed service
What do you like best about the product?
Easy management and speed build-up, possible to integrate with many APIs.
What do you dislike about the product?
We would like to have possibility to have backup.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are trying to speed up the processing of our business.
Aiven Kafka Review
What do you like best about the product?
Aiven is super easy and intuitive to use. Checking out schemas, topics, and versions is super useful. Also setting up kafka clusters is quite easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be super cool to be able to see messages in a topic for a given timestamp.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
we are using Aiven for managing our Kafka clusters and schemas
Good tooling, fairly reliable service.
What do you like best about the product?
I think Aiven is set up quite well to support infrastructure as code - more so than other Kafka providers.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think our company's experience with customer support has been a bit rough. There have been a number of times where we experienced issues with out cluster and nobody seemed to be able to figure out what was wrong, so we just had to try a bunch of things until something worked. It would have been better to have someone from Aiven who was able to investigate and diagnose our problems.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're using Kafka for event-driven design among a number of microservices. The upside in areas like fault tolerance and reliability have been massive.
No problems so far
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to find Services, Connection information, Topics (with partitions etc.). Stability has been good as far as I know.
What do you dislike about the product?
Messages of a topic does not always show in Aiven Console ("Provide the desired filters and click "Fetch Messages" to view messages from a specific partition / offset.") (Timeout?)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We store events about push notifications, compacted device status, and much more.
Easy to use environment to deploy Apache Kafka
What do you like best about the product?
I like the most how the setup of Apache Kafka is made so easy with Aiven.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that there is no fitting Source Connector for Connect and Google Cloud Storage.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using Aiven for Apache Kafka for streamlining data into a local environment. I also use it to back up the data.
Fantastic DB as a service
What do you like best about the product?
Hosting and scaling massive databases can be challenging, Aiven makes it look easy and efforless
What do you dislike about the product?
I've had a fantastic experience so it's hard to say
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are running a SaaS company, from the beginning we knew that we can excel on the product, but the most critical piece was our data. We wanted to have someone who really knows what they are doing do it for us. Aiven was a easy solution. Our systems are deployed in Google Cloud and their hosted postgres only works for demos but is not production ready. So we needed a 3rd party solution
Everything works just great!
What do you like best about the product?
Web UI is really easy to use, and connections to instance are easy to setup.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you could setup roles and access for user directly in Aiven UI that would be great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We just needed a database, so this is as easy as it gets.
