Clean UI
What do you like best about the product?
Aiven is what AWS should be. It's easy to find what you are looking for, the settings are where they should be and the structure is very logical.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much other than more features and customisability/settings without making it confusing like AWS.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Kafka and Postgres to perform event streaming.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use it for as many services that you can to avoid splitting up your services across too many vendors.

Event driven architectures made easy
What do you like best about the product?
- simple integration with Kubernetes
- decoupling infrastructure code from application code
- decoupling infrastructure code from application code
What do you dislike about the product?
Gosh, not mush here to complain about. UI is intuitive, and interface is simple. Maybe have simple tutorials, "hello Aiven world" style for the uninitiated.

- energy trading platform for tomorrow's smarter energy grid
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give a go! These guys are heading in the right direction.
Easy to use Database as a Service with focus on security!
What do you like best about the product?
The User Interface is fast and has direct links to useful information. For example, metrics and backups are available one click away. Aiven has a focus on security that is welcome and instills trust.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish Aiven supported more Service Integrations - specifically we use NewRelic for APM.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Aiven is becoming our database as a service platform. We are able to focus on business goals instead of maintaining servers.
Simple, secure, reliable
What do you like best about the product?
Of all the cloud-based database services we've tried, Aiven has been hands-down the easiest to work with and integrate with our distributed systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
Would like to have some sort of database performance/uptime monitoring tools that are configurable to send out alerts to specific roles/users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
we're a small start-up with limited funding and staff resources. We're in the student loan industry and quickly scaling up as we gain lending licenses in every state. It has been a relief that we've been able to focus on application development without a dedicated database administrator. Every once in awhile, we "check up on" the database -- yep, it's still there -- and we go back to our code.
Very easy to set up
What do you like best about the product?
It's very easy to set up, and the control panel helps you a lot on setting up the basics.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm using Postgres, the control panel could be more advanced, making account management and permissions easier for your databases. I can manage that myself via queries, but that's not as easy.
Also I'm experiencing some speed problems. Even though the database is in the same region on Google Cloud, as my kubernetes cluster is, my php responses take close to 1 second, where that locally is no more than 100ms. I'm not sure yet where the problem is as the Aiven dashboard is showing quick query responses. Further investigation required.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Google SQL is very expensive. I was looking for a cheaper, yet high available solution. Setting up was quick and easy.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Easy and quick to set up. Yet you have to invest some time to set up some proper database security (roles and accounts/permissions)

limited product configuration (e.g. it was not possible to use redis because of protocol mismatch)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Analysis and prediction for payTV business
Good
What do you like best about the product?
- Place in time restores
- Database forks
- Read-only replicas
- Database forks
- Read-only replicas
What do you dislike about the product?
Mainly that this isn't the default GCP PostgreSQL. Sorry but it's nice when all your stuff is in one place (or at least a reduced amount of places). I wonder if there's some kind of aggregating console service out there...
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We wanted a managed PostgreSQL service when we moved from AWS to GCP. When I was analysing a bug recently, I discovered the "database fork" feature and was able to easily snapshot the production database (and have it available/connectable for testing) and then fix the data in production to work around the bug.
Solid postgres, slightly lacking redis
What do you like best about the product?
Nice simple pricing model
Enough metrics for the important stuff without cluttering up the place

What do you dislike about the product?
Redis has no easy dump restore function for migrating from external source
Backups are not very accessible, be nice to be able to download arbitrary backups.

Aiven Kafka review
What do you like best about the product?
I like that I don't have to deal with kafka maintenance.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish that there were a way to same / view all messages moving through kafka so that I could debug manually when necessary. My stream is low volume.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use kafka as our message broker in a distributed system setup with Lagom.
