1. Support Grouping of OAuth2/OIDC Users

   As a platform engineer
   I want to group multiple users based on their role (OAuth2/OIDC claim)
   so that I can reduce the number of required Kafka users and ACL entries that need to be managed.

   Currently, every user / identity connecting via OAuth2/OIDC has a 1:1 mapping to a Kafka user (the username is taken from the sub claim). This is cumbersome and leads to significant overhead if for example multiple identities / users with the same permissions want to access the Kafka service. Kafka users and ACLs need to be created for every single identity, even though they share for example the same underlying role.

   Confluent supports this in a feature called "Identity Pools".

2. Kafka Connect GCS Sink: Support using field values to define bucket name or file name prefix

   As data streaming architect
   I want to be able to export records from Kafka to GCS and use values in the record to define the bucket or file name
   so that I can organize data by those values to make them easier to find and process.

   Use case is a multi-user/multi-tenant application where user info is a value in the record. Need to be able to organize the output in object storage by that value somehow.

3. Add OpenTelemetry API and SDK to enable traceability in Debezium connector

   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.

4. Aiven API support for Kafka Connect Java clients

   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.

6. Aiven's S3 sink connector - Support configure offset flush max size

   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 to OOM without temporary reducing the offset.flush.interval.ms.

7. Support for Protobuf serialization of Events (and Keys) in Aiven Kafka Connnect

   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. Connectivity check for MirrorMaker with external Kafka integration

   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 and the external Kafka is correct and the chosen authentication method and credentials are valid.

10. kafka_connect_connector_metrics availability over Prometheus

    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 can get notified whenever a connector is not running.
    kafkaconnectconnector_metrics{status="running",connector="lfs-source-kafka-notifications",} 1.0

    They are also facing a similar issue with task status as they don't see metrics for it, while on their current cluster has:
    kafkaconnectconnector_status{connector="lfs-source-kafka-notification-created",status="running",task="0",} 1.0

    They have shared the attached metrics txt related to that connector that they got from prometheus.

12. Aiven's S3 sink connector - Configure `offset.flush.interval.ms` on the connector's level

    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).

14. Decompression transform for Connectors

    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 :

15. Move Karapace updates out of maintenance updates into IaC definitions

    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.
