Best Cloud Database Platform I've Used
What do you like best about the product?
The best part about Aiven for me is how easy it is to use. In my experience as a DevOps engineer, I've worked with many managed database platforms. Aiven has by far been the quickest to setup. It really is a one click setup.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing that sometimes is a concern when using Aiven is that it can be a bit pricey. However, it scales well so it is still good value for money.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Aiven quickens the database deployment and management process. It saves a lot of time compared to other services, which require a lot of manual input such as exposing the right ports. Another big advantage is also the variety of server locations it offers, as we require our data to be stored in specific regions

What do you dislike about the product?
Aiven abstracts most of the underlying infrastructure management, which can be both an advantage and a drawback. However, engineers with more experience may desire more control over Kafka configurations and cluster settings, which is not possible.
The logs for Kafka Connect are not separated per connector, making it difficult to retrieve logs for a specific connector.
Sometimes, the Aiven User Interface can be buggy, particularly when it comes to Kafka connectors. These connectors may display incorrect statuses, causing confusion and potential issues.

Focus on what matters
What do you like best about the product?
Aiven solutions allow my team to quickly prototype ideas and test them, without having to worry about the "boring" stuff, like DBs maintenance.
At the same time Pro plans allow us to still use Aiven for mission critical parts of our product.

Great Platform for Super Fast Setup, Prototype, and Proving out MVP, Use Cases
What do you like best about the product?
Aiven is a fantastic platform for getting up and running as quickly as possible. The cost is very competitive and flexible. The number of database options covers nearly all of our development and POC use cases. It is very easy to provision and to tear down and integrating with our existing development tooling is very simple, and we do not have to worry about usage, egress overages while prototyping and rapidly proving out MVP value.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some parts are not as customizable and easy to use as I would like, such as managing static IP addresses, customizing environment variables or config settings, and some features that are available in the tool do not seem to be available in Aiven, for example, with Clickhouse, not all of the secondary storage and remote table engines were compatible.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Aiven is giving us a very fast and simple way to provision development databases that are fully compatible with our existing tooling and production environments. In addition to OpenSearch and PSQL, we have also tried Aiven Grafana and Aiven for ClickHouse.
Simply scalability with Aiven
What do you like best about the product?
Aiven Kafka services offer a plethora of advantages that significantly elevate the efficiency and reliability of data streaming and processing. In my opinion, the primary benefit is the ease of scalability. With Aiven Kafka, I can effortlessly scale their clusters to handle varying workloads and accommodate growing data volumes. This eliminates the need for manual intervention and ensures seamless performance even during periods of increased demand.
What do you dislike about the product?
Less control over the configuration and tuning of the Kafka cluster. If your use case requires fine-grained control over Kafka settings, a managed service might not be the best fit
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Aiven kafka allows abstracting away the underlying infrastructure and operational complexities. This allows my team to focus on building and managing applications rather than dealing with the intricacies of Kafka cluster deployment and maintenance.
Good platform for hosting and managing Kafka, w/ some support issues
What do you like best about the product?
Overall Aiven provides a good and relatively stable platform for hosting and managing Kafka clusters. The console is easy to use and provides clear tools for admins to create/delete/etc topics, ACLs and users, among others. Terraform (IAC) resources are available and well-documented.
What do you dislike about the product?
We faced a few unexpected technical issues/difficulties a few times. While the support channels were fairly responsive most of the time, there were a few ocassions when it felt slow for a number of days, while feeling somewhat left in the dark - more clarity would've been appreciated in those instances.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Removing the need to directly install and manage the underlying infrastrcture of our Kafka platform and providing intuitive UI for managing our Kafka projects. This allows us more time to focus on providing a robust Kafka service to the teams in the company, and move faster towards our goals with Kafka solutions.
Easy to use and easier to configure
What do you like best about the product?
Ease to configure the roles and access controls. Very easy to create topic and gives you a hollistic view of configuration.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some spaces takes a lot of time to load, for example user profiles takes a lot of time to load. Sometimes, when you are trying to see the members for projects, it takes a lot more time to render list of 50 users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ease of use of configuration in one place and also easier to monitor the health of nodes is quite useful for us.
