  1. As IT Architect
    I want to provide complete traceability within my microservice mesh where 2 microservice communicate via Outbox pattern via Debezium connector. In order to achieve this, Debezium connector requires some of the OpenTelemtry APIs are on the Kafka Connect classpath.
    I want to have this feature so that I can see complete chain of interactions for specific request, observe what and where time is spent inside particular microservice and find out possible bottlenecks.

  2. As an AIven developer user
    I want to use the Java code generated from Aiven API to communicate with an Aiven managed KafkaConnect cluster
    so that I can build micro services in Java platform to manage various connectors on the cluster
    In addition, this gives more security for Aiven users and data while the standard REST API supports only BasicAuth.

  3. 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).

  4. 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.

  5. As Developer
    I want to use Aiven's S3 sink connector and have the ability to control the size of output files (keep same size even if the traffic changes). In general, the connector has no lags and we want to flush the offset and write to file only when we have enough data. We use offset.flush.interval.ms for it but when the traffic increases, the amount of data arrives in the configured interval is increased and can cause an OOM issue. In addition, when we pause the connector for couple of minutes and we gather a lag, it can also lead…

  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. As a data engineer
    I want Aiven Kafka Connect to offer the option to use the protocol buffer data format when serializíng the events that is sends to a Kafka broker.
    In my specific case, I need it to be possible in a Debezium connector for PostgreSQL.
    Additionally, it would be good to have as a user the option to define oneself the protobuf schema to use for serializing.

  9. Debugging failed connectivity between Aiven for Apache MirrorMaker and an external Kafka configured using an integration endpoint is very difficult today. No errors are surfaced in the integration endpoint configuration screen itself, we must wait for the replication flow to attempt to start and then dig out cryptic errors from MM2 logs.

    Some kinds of errors (e.g. failure to build SSL keystores) are not even surfaced in MM2 logs and are only visible to Aiven operators.

    Please consider adding a basic connectivity check to allow for quicker troubleshooting and iteration. This check should ensure that the network path between Aiven…

  10. 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…

  12. As a developer that uses Aiven's S3 sink connector,
    I want to be able to set the offset.flush.interval.ms only for my specific connector from the connector's configuration
    so that I can avoid configuring it in the cluster level (for all connectors).

    This function will largely be replaced by ChatGPT or other LLMs which can generate clear code and instructions, making a visual builder unnecessary. 

  14. As a developer
    I want to know when a connector is paused or resumed
    so that I can have timestamps and know if anybody is doing what they are not supposed to do.

  15. As an application developer
    I want to compress my kafka messages, but be able to decomrpess them using a transform before sinking them into a destination
    so that I can save on storage costs
    In addition, I'd like to use ZTSD, but more common libraries might be enough.

    Note, Confluent has something similar :

    In addition, this functionality is already available on other services in Aiven

  17. As a customer
    I want to be able to select Karapace version updates in Terraform code instead of maintenance updates GUI
    so that I can control when Karapace updates are applied from my IaC definition.
    In addition, Karapace updates can introduce service interruptions for users because all consumer instances are terminated. Moving it out of maintenance updates means less user interruptions on often more important maintenance updates.

  18. 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.

  19. As a developer,
    I want to have an easy setup of my Kafka connectors when they are using internal Aiven services such as Postgres or OpenSearch
    so that I can save time, avoid mistakes, and enforce the strength of the platform.

  20. As a developer I want to be able to read and write data to my S3 object storage, in order to simply integrate Flink into my existing data architecture. Using Flink to read data from S3, transform it, and then write to another S3 location allows easy consolidation and data quality management in a common reference data architecture.
