  1. 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.

  2. As a devops
    I want to receive events from my projects (activity feed)
    so that I can know in real time if a service has been created/deleted/updated/stopped/started on my project
    In addition, I would like to be able to send this event to a kafka topic for example.

  3. As DBA, I want to be able to define a schedule to shutdown and turn on services automatically so that I can save costs on non-production environments.
    Example:
    at 19:00 Monday to Friday power off the instance
    at 06:00 Monday to Friday power on the instance

    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



  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. As an Aiven customer with a verified domain, and therefore the ability to reset my users' credentials, I would like to be able to disable self-service password reset for my users. This is to support internal policies that users' passwords can only be reset by our helpdesk.

  7. As a user, I would like to have more granular details on what is included in updates and get an estimation on how long the maintenance period would be on my service and what would be the impact, if any temporary scale up of service is required during maintenance update

  8. 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…

  10. The current console is not designed for mobile users but it would be beneficial for our customers to make some improvements. During long upgrades outside of working hours they would like to check the progress of their upgrades from their phones. It would be great to be able to turn off the side bar and also zoom in .

  11. As an IT Administrator I want to automate the on and off-boarding of users and manage their lifecycle in Google Workspace.

    SCIM allows an IT Administrator to provision users and groups automatically to Aiven and keeps them in sync with the identity provider.

  12. As an Administrator
    I want to request certain default project settings for my organization
    so that I can when I create new projects, these settings are in place without needing to contact support each time. E.G. - Static IP Limitations, Custom Plans
    This will reduce the number of tickets I need to raise, and allow my developers to more rapidly spin up new projects.

  15. As an engineer
    I want to see links to release notes of updating software when applying maintenance
    so that I can quickly find out all the changes that are being applied and understand their relevancy to me

    Specifically when using the console I can see links to all release notes, rather than a generic notice that my service is being updated to a specific version.

  16. As DevOps user
    I want to locate logs for a specific time in the past on the Aiven console
    so that I can investigate past issues in the logs in a reasonable amount of time.
    In addition, while the logs are made available in the console, there is no mechanism to filter them in any way. Scrolling back through the logs to get to something that I need from 3 days ago makes the function essentially unusable.

  17. As a developer, I want to have easy discovery of the API.

    Currently, the OpenAPI is available as a blob link pointing to a specific GUID:
    blob:https://api.aiven.io/6b9e6327-8330-42d5-a813-0cc7379d5e02

    It would be nice if this was available as a consistent URI.
    https://api.aiven.io/v1/schema/

    And if discovery was available by a common RFC:
    RFC 8631 service-desc
    RFC 5988 describedby

  18. As SRE
    I want to have the Aiven Terraform Provider not throw errors on capital letters in plan names,
    so that I can not have weird errors when trying to deploy my services.
    Either forcing the plan name to be lowercase behind the scenes or throwing an error message that makes the issue clear would be helpful.

  19. As an account administrator signing up for Aiven,
    I want to register key individuals as business contacts for my account along with key technical contacts for the account,
    so that I can properly direct different people in my business to the right function for outreach. For example, I would like to register key account contact, key financial/billing contacts, key security contacts, etc. along with key technical contacts for where to reach out for escalation.
    I would like to provide this during sign up to Aiven or fill in/modify after the account has been established.
