  1. 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. 

  2. As developer,
    I would like to access a web console that would provide audited access to services, such as a psql shell, and be able to run PostgreSQL commands.

    For example, we'd like to interact with the database to resolve the following error without needing psql installed locally or network connectivity from our laptop. https://docs.aiven.io/docs/products/kafka/kafka-connect/howto/debezium-source-connector-pg#solve-the-error-must-be-superuser-to-create-for-all-tables-publication

    In addition, this would be especially useful for services which have been secured, like custom PCI-DSS environments.

  3. 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.

  4. As an Aiven admin user who manages resource definitions in Kubernetes using Aiven operator, I want changes further made in Aiven via other APIs to be automatically reconciled, so that desired and actual state remain consistent.

  5. As a platform engineer managing Aiven
    I want to be notified when there is a new version of the CLI available
    so that I can upgrade and stay current with Aiven capabilities
    In addition, this will allow me to ensure the team will always have a working CLI.

    Much of this is solved by using package managers which support the avn client, but the message of it being out of date is helpful.

  7. As a developer, I want to be able to list all the databases I have in my PostgreSQL service so that I can easily find the one I am looking for.

    The Aiven API only lists the top 100 now, and I cannot search them. This means if I have more than 100 databases I cannot find them in console or via the Aiven API.

  8. As a developer, I would like to be able to use tags created on Aiven services in rsyslog integrations. This would allow organizing services data based on these tags in the logs or metrics integrations.

  11. 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 .

  13. 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.

    I want to be able to use European cloud providers
    so that I can be certain that using the cloud provider is following the rules of the GDPR.

  19. 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.

  20. 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.
