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 servicesCurrently, 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…

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…

Shutdown automatically based on a schedule
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 instance4 votesI 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

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.5 votes -
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.11 votes -
LTS editions
As a product owner of Aiven services
I want to be able to select Long term support versions of the Aiven products
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.6 votesAlthough 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.

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.

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.7 votes -
Disable self-service password reset for users in my verified domain
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.

Clarify toggle between Dynamic and Public Access Route
As user
I want to get a URI
so that I can access my serviceIf 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…

Phone friendly web console
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 .
