  1. 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.

  2. As a developer,
    I want to make sure schema is being validated not just on client but also on a broker side,
    so that I can make sure all messages in the topic correspond to the same schema and does not contain any mixed schemas.

  3. As a developer,
    I want to programmatically manage my consumers and consumer groups,
    so that I can see the status of them, perform CRUD operations, show members of a group, reset offsets and similar.
    In addition, I want to be able to do so also in Aiven Console.

  4. As developer,
    I want to use public CA (i.e. Let's Encrypt),
    so that I can connect to my Apache for Kafka service without installing any additional certificates.
    In addition, I can trust publish authority issuing certificates instead of validating 3rd party certificates.

  5. 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.

  6. 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…

  7. 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…

  8. As a developer,

    so that I can keep track of breadcrumbs left by all the changes made to a service to ensure compliance.

  9. As a developer,
    I want to temporarily disable service user,
    so that I can test is service user still in use by any of the applications or temporarily ban abusive clients.

  10. As a developer / SRE,

  11. As a developer / security engineer,
    I want to be able to define lifetime of certificates (i.e. 30-90 days) used to authenticate my service users,
    so that I can have certificate rotation policies in place to ensure compliance and security best practices.

  12. As a SRE / Apache Kafka operator / developer,
    I want to make sure all my topics adhere to a naming convention,
    so that I can ensure consistency of my topics.
    In addition, I can use naming convention to better identify, group, locate and categorise my topics.

  13. 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).

  14. As a SRE,
    I want to operate Apache Kafka without Zookeeper,
    so that I can have more resources available for Apache Kafka itself.
    In addition, it will allow faster up- and down- scaling of my cluster and it will support more partitions per broker.

  15. As an organization (DevOps/Security/Vendor Manager) using Aiven Kafka,
    we want to determine the last connected cert status of Kafka users,
    so that we can know whether a kafka user certificate has been successfully updated.

    We automate certificate rolling to an extent with terraform. Different teams of devs generally own their section of terraform creating Kafka users. As of right now every two years those certs expire, and clicking the "Yes I've updated" in the Aiven console just silences the alert, and provides no real time verification from the running kafka that a certificate has been updated.

    This means a user…

  17. 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.

  18. As a developer,
    I want to integrate my services in streaming domain, i.e. Apache Kafka, Apache Kafka Connect, Apache MirrorMaker2, etc with other services in any project and/or VPC,
    so that I can build data streaming pipelines and benefit from the use use of aforementioned services.

  19. We are using Kafka connectors for GCS: https://github.com/Aiven-Open/cloud-storage-connectors-for-apache-kafka

    And we set offset.flush.interval.ms to some value (https://kafka.apache.org/documentation/#connectconfigs). However in some topics we have more data, in some less. We'd like to have this value configurable per topic: https://kafka.apache.org/documentation/#topicconfigs

    So, we'd like to have for example 5 minutes for all topics, but for some specific - 1 minute. Can this option be added to connectors? Thanks.

  20. 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)
