  1. As customer
    I want to be able to assign tags based on my internal naming conventions to resources created by Aiven, so that I can have a clear insight into my expenses.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

    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. 

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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



  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. 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

  13. 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…

  15. 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 .

  16. 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.

  17. 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.

  18. As a CFO / FinOps Leader, I want to easily track our Aiven cloud costs, so that we can provide accurate reporting, allocate costs internally, and to prioritize workload optimization projects based on accurate cost data.

  19. As DBA
    I want to be able to choose a custom service port
    so that I can migrate databases to Aiven without changing the port in the applications connection string.
    In addition, this would help to avoid issues with the migration because of wrong ports.

  20. 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.
