  1. As a managed Kafka administrator
    I want to have the ability to black-list a bunch of IP addresses I believe are suspicious from my Kafka service, so that I can prevent my service being disrupted by unexpected traffic
    In addition, I would like to keep the current allow-list to be able to allow know IPs and a way to resolve a conflict between allow and block list where block list takes priority.

  2. As an OPS Engineer
    I want to be able to balance the cluster based on CPU usage rather than Disk usage. The current algorithm focuses on Disk usage which is not optimum for our application.
    Can we have an option to apply partition rebalancing based on CPU usage?

  3. As a platform engineer
    I want the service updates to be versioned and to be able to select a specific version (Kafka, Karapace, etc) to update to so that I can perform correct change promotion from non-prod to production (instead of being forced to always apply the latest) and so that if a new version is released while an update is in-flight it would not lead to different versions running across the brokers (as is currently the case, which we have experienced can lead to incompatibilities). Additionally, I would like it to be clear what version(s) is currently running in…

  4. As an ops engineer,
    I want to be able to declare fined grained ACLs
    so that I avoid having to grant "admin" rights to users which only need "DeleteRecords" rights on specific topics.
    The client uses Kafka Streams, which needs specific rights (https://docs.confluent.io/platform/current/streams/developer-guide/security.html#required-acl-setting-for-secure-ak-clusters) which are not covered by aiven predefined rights.
    Currently, the "admin" is to broad for such access (I don't want the user to be able to create topics).

  5. As a Kafka Administrator
    I want to ahve ability to scalse Kafka clsuter without upgrade, that increses time of scale.
    In production this can become critical and lead to downtime. For example last 2 times the scale lasted for 12 hours.

  6. As a developer
    I want to have the ability to use our own S3 bucket for storing Kafka tiered storage
    so that I can access the data from S3 and query some data for debugging (without streaming all the data to Kafka)

  7. Our customer Jago wants to monitor the status of connectors and tasks but currently can't find relevant metrics to do so. They want to be able to monitor the status of connectors and tasks on a dashboard and also get notified whenever a connector has not been running for X minutes.

    Jago has a connector running but can not find the metrics for kafka.connect:type=connector-metrics,connector=*.

    The specific metrics they are looking for is the one related to the status of a connector. For example, in the customers current self-managed kafka connect, they have the following metrics. This is convenient because they…

  8. The Aiven platform allows custom key/value tags to be added to resources such as Kafka topics. It would be useful to have these exposed as additional labels on metrics so that alerts can be triggered based on this metadata.

  10. As a Cloud platform engineer I need to provide the capability, to developers, to set quotas via Terraform when then set-up applications that will produce to/consume from a Kafka cluster.

  11. As a Cloud platform engineer, I need to have an automated way to set up and update quota configurations on a cluster, taking into account changes in resources consumption patterns amongst producers and consumers.

  12. As a Cloud platform engineer, I need to have a view of Kafka cluster resources consumption across all clients IDs. Such information is needed to configure quotas and to manage them.

  13. As a kafka user, I want to configure the threshold used to send CPU warning emails. Right now we are getting emails because the CPU exceeds 50%, which is irrelevant. We know we can configure the emails to go to another mail address but in that case we would loose all other technical mails as well.
    It would also be good for us if we can turn off that single alert.

  14. As a developer / operator,
    I want to see Kafka topics grouped by type in Aiven Console
    so that I can distinguish between topics created by Schema Registry, MirrorMaker2, Connect and directly in Kafka itself.
    In addition, i want to apply filters and sorting by type.

  15. As Software Engineer at Wex
    I want to send additional metrics to Datadog
    so that I can send important metrics from Aiven's cluster as these ones:
    IsrShrinksPerSec
    IsrExpandsPerSec
    ActiveControllerCount
    OfflinePartitionsCount
    TotalTimeMs
    PurgatorySize
    RequestsPerSec
    Network bytes sent/received
    BytesInPerSec/BytesOutPerSec

    According to Datadog's documentation, these metrics are considered highly significant.

  16. As Developer, I want to utilize Custom Connectors on Aiven,
    so that I can integrate our proprietary data systems and custom applications with Apache Kafka without having to manage the underlying infrastructure.

    In addition, this will allow developers to concentrate more on the building of business-critical applications instead of getting tied up with infrastructural tasks.

  17. As a devops developer
    I want to change the replication policy separator
    so that I can use our existing topic separators without conflicting with MM2.
    In addition, I find it extremely inconvenient to have to change our existing schema because we cannot configure the replication.policy.separator in MM2.

    We can see it as useful configuration to expose. At the same time it will need to gather a bit more interest to be taken in to development. 

    Thanks!

  18. As a developer / SRE,
    I want to have my Apache Kafka cluster to run across multiple regions and potentially even clouds,
    so that I can ensure high availability setup and have near zero RTO and RPO in case of DR, i.e. network, region or provider failure.
    In addition, I want to benefit from the geo-distributed cluster setup and read/write from/to the geographically closest broker to optimise my network latency and cost.

  19. As a developer,
    I want to know latest offset and max timestamp for a given topic/partition,
    so that I can identify when topic/partition was last time used and in case it is no longer in use I can cleanup stale topics/partitions.
