1. Global uniqueness requirement for project name results in frustrating UX

   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 project ID could be unique across the platform by having some or all of it be auto-generated, while the user-defined project name helps the user identify and organize their projects.

3. Improve UX of autoscaling configuration

   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 extremely unintuitive and complicated for a simple requirement of a user simply wanting to define a rule around how much to scale up resources for a service as needed.

   e.g. User wants a Kafka Business-4 cluster to be able to autoscale disk from the default 600GB up to 1200GB as needed. This should be a simple configuration section in the service itself. The user would not anticipate this feature being an "integration".

   I will leave this open to see if we get more votes over the next 6 months. This can be accomplished easily with a simple shell script and Aiven CLI with a cron job for example:

   
   

   0 19 * * 1-5 /path/to/shutdown.sh  # Shutdown at 7:00 PM (19:00), Monday-Friday 0 6 * * 1-5 /path/to/startup.sh   # Startup at 6:00 AM (06:00), Monday-Friday

   
   

   #!/bin/bash

   
   

   # Replace with your Aiven project and service names

   PROJECT_NAME="your-project-name"

   SERVICE_NAME="your-service-name"

   
   

   aiven service stop/start $PROJECT_NAME $SERVICE_NAME

   
   

   
   

6. IP whitelisting with expiration

   As an Aiven user,
   I want to have the ability to whitelist an IP address for a limited time, eg. in hours, so that I can access the database only within this specified window. The whitelist should automatically update once that time is up.
   This would give database access only when needed, and would be beneficial for both network efficiency and security as the whitelist is kept as small as possible, thus also reducing potential attack surface.

7. SAML Certificate Expiry

   As an Aiven Administrator
   I want to have an automated way to know when a user's ssl certificates enter their expiration grace period (last 3 months)
   so that I can update the values stored in, say, AWS SecretsManager
   A simple method would be to provide an api that shows the expiration dates for each user (as per the data file available to the Console) so that I could poll once per month, say, and update any certificates in the grace period and use the current acknowledgement api to complete the task.

8. LTS editions

   As a product owner of Aiven services

   so that I can have the upgrade cycles match those of my other products without having to request exceptions when End of life warnings start appearing
   In addition, I'd like to be able to made aware of any maintainence done to my clusters if they are in anyway destructive.

   Although this sounds reasonable in practice and many Linux distributions follow this, the projects we run at Aiven do not. So we are unable to build secured versions of open-source projects for long-term support. This would require an immense amount of engineering to maintain legacy versions of these 11 open-source projects. We also run Linux infrastructure, which is not part of the LTS model, so this would be yet another issue with the idea of LTS. If you'd like to discuss more, I am happy to speak with you. 

9. Connect to BYOC VPCs via VPN

   As a cloud architect,
   I want to connect my Aiven BYOC VPCs via a VPN to my applications
   so that I can re-use existing automations to manage VPN connectivity.

   VPNs are traditionally used when connecting on-premise workloads to workloads in the public cloud.

11. Pagination of API

    As a DevOps engineer, I want to be able to paginate through API results when the number of items exceeds the default limits for the call (e.g. the static APIs for a project) so that I can always pull all data for the objects I care about without having to use the undocumented "limit" parameter. In addition, this should limit bugs that arise from automation due to not seeing all relevant data.

12. Graceful reset of service user credentials

    As a customer who has applications integrated into my Aiven Services,

    I want some period of time after I change a user credential,

    so that I can go and alter this in all the relevant applications, without a service outage.
    Currently when a user credential is changed, with only 1 user, the old credential is disabled immediately, before I have a chance to update my applications, causing outages or scheduled maintenance windows.

19. Clarify toggle between Dynamic and Public Access Route

    As user
    I want to get a URI
    so that I can access my service

    If a service is running in a VPC and public access is allowed, the Connection Information for an Aiven service shows a row labeled "Access Route" with options "Dynamic" and "Public". As a new user, I thought this was for making a configuration setting change, so I was afraid to select Public. I think the use of the term "Dynamic" also threw me off. I didn't see anything in the docs and there's no help text in the UI to inform the user on what this is.

    I think the use of radio buttons to toggle between a "dynamic" and "public" URI isn't intuitive. Maybe some different UI treatment would make it more obvious that this is toggling one vs the other.
