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

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

  3. As someone that looks at the Aiven Invoices on a monthly basis,
    I want to be able to easily read a summary of all Aiven invoices generated for my entire organization. I need to get a top line summary of spend / service along with any agreed/negotiated discounts and where they are being applied and not applied to the services.

  4. As an Aiven user
    I want to move individual services from one project to another within Aiven
    so that I can transfer specific services without affecting other services within the same project.

  5. There is a need for retrieving a list of services at all kind getting near to the end of life of the version in the console as well with the CLI

    Ideally with a configurable value for the time between alert and actual EOL date.

    That would be very valuable for mid term upgrade planning effort of customers

  6. As an SRE
    I want to be able to monitor the JMX metrics from my OpenSearch Cluster
    so that I can ensure my cluster is Healthy.
    In addition, it would be nice to consume these with Dynatrace. I see there is a Jolokia option for Kafka only.

  7. Warning and critical alerts are fairly basic, for instance sending a Critical alert when disk usage is above 80%.
    If the service has several TB of diskspace, and a growth of 1% per month, such an alert might be many months or even years premature.

    As an service operator I want alerts to incorporate trend-based predictions to avoid unnecessary “Critical” alerts while still sending an alert if usage suddenly spikes.

  8. As a user of the Aiven Services,
    I want to be able to share specific changelog updates with my colleagues instead of just linking the changelog page itself and letting them find the update I was mentioning.

  9. Users would like to use the private DNS feature with their PrivateLink endpoint connections, as shown in the error below.

    Error Message:
    There was an error modifying private DNS names Private DNS can't be enabled because the service com.amazonaws.vpce.us-east-1.vpce-svc-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx does not provide a private DNS name.

  11. As a founder of a brazilian company that uses Linode
    I want to use Aiven PostgreSQL through VPC inside Linode Datacenter.
    so that I can have better performance for our application.
    I already tried other solutions like AWS and DO connected to Linode. But latency hurts too much.

    Please, support Linode.

  12. 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…

  13. 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…

  14. 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.

  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 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

  17. 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.

  18. 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.

  19. As an SRE, I want to integrate DataDog easily to capture Aiven Platform logs so that I can get all of my observability data into my standard tool of choice and setup auditing and alerting. In addition, I would like to do so with the standard DataDog setup using OAuth and a tile from DataDog versus manually configuring both tools.

    https://docs.datadoghq.com/developers/integrations/oauth_for_integrations/ vs https://aiven.io/docs/integrations/datadog/datadog-logs which is the current setup

  20. As a platform engineer who is running shared services, I want to be able to provision, monitor, and manage my Aiven services from Backstage... So that I can have a fully integrated developer portal to make my engineering teams more successful at self-serving to make them more efficient.

    In addition:
    As a developer, I want to quickly discover and explore existing Aiven services within Backstage to avoid duplicating data infrastructure and accelerate my development work.

    As a developer, I want to have clear visibility into the status and health of Aiven services my applications depend on, directly within Backstage.
