  2. Allow for greater maintenance schedule flexibility.

    As a customer, I want to schedule maintenance to my services with a fixed calendar schedule rather then a weekly schedule. This is because I am required to only apply maintenance to my systems based on contracted schedules with my end customers. For example, I want to be able to schedule maintenance to occur on the 20th of each month. Or every 3rd Friday of the month between a certain window of time.

  3. As a customer, I want the ability to designate non-production systems as the primary target for updates, patches, and upgrades, so I can test them in my process before pushing them to production.

  5. As an API developer I need to understand the error codes and details of the API so that I can integrate and handle errors thrown by the API elegantly.

    The gaps are most notably:
    * HTTP status codes explanation
    * lack of standardized error codes (example: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/ErrorResponses.html)
    * very little or no explanation (example: https://api.aiven.io/doc/#tag/Service/operation/ListProjectServiceTypes)

  7. Due to some limitations on the number of peerings supported by some cloud provider, for an organization with numerous applications and many potential projects associated with each, one option around it would be to configure Aiven VPC at Organizational level.

  10. As DevOps Engineer
    I want to add new custom query to datadog database monitoring
    so that I can monitor custom metric that based on custom query that datadog does not send by default.
    In addition, I would like to provide some documentation regarding of running custom queries on datadog
    https://docs.datadoghq.com/database_monitoring/setup_postgres/selfhosted/?tab=postgres15#running-custom-queries

    This is quite important for us so we could remove any custom implementation to get custom metric via custom query.

  12. As a customer, I want to ensure that my version of service is not auto-incremented on the Major.Minor release number as I have client code that connects to it. Thus, there needs to be a separate of maintenance and version upgrade that is separate. I still want maintenance to occur on my account (i.e. patching for security), yet I need the service version to remain the same.

  14. As a customer, I want system service notifications to be provided through alternative mechanisms, e.g., webhooks, API, console notifications, etc., as the current system of email notifications often go unnoticed or get caught in spam filters, and we are caught unprepared.

  15. As a developer or service administrator
    I want to be able to rename Aiven services after creation
    so that I can recover from typos or adjust the service name when the purpose of the service changes.

    In addition, renaming services would be useful to in during the disaster recovery process where a service is forked from a backup. Once the service is restored, I would like to rename the forked service to what it previously was in production.

  16. As a founder of a brazilian company that uses Linode
    I want to use Aiven PostgreSQL through VPC inside Linode Datacenter.
    so that I can have better performance for our application.
    I already tried other solutions like AWS and DO connected to Linode. But latency hurts too much.

    Please, support Linode.

  17. As an IT manager
    I want to add a new user to a group at the time of inviting them
    so that I can do a single action and not have to wait for them to setup an account.

    1. Invite by IT manager

  18. As a user
    I want to create new projects
    so that I can organize my services

    Currently, the Aiven platform requires the project name to be unique across the entire Aiven platform and all its users. This can lead to an extremely frustrating user experience because the user has no clue what would project name might not have already been taken.

    Project names should simply be unique per organization, at least as perceived by the user. Namespacing projects to the organization would be the obvious solution but another option might be to have separate project names and project IDs. The…

  19. As an operator or developer
    I want to easily configure my service to autoscale
    so that I can not worry about outages or failures if data volume spikes.

    Currently, in order to configure autoscaling for a service, one needs to go to Integration Endpoints at the project level, create an Aiven Autoscaler Integration Endpoint, then go to the service where I want to define autoscaling, go to Integrations, choose Aiven Autoscaler under Endpoint Integrations, then select the instance of the Aiven Autoscaler I just created.

    Maybe this aligns on the back end for how autoscaling a service works but it's…
