1. Monitoring consume lag for kafka not out of the box

   As a Solutions Architect
   I want to have consumer lag for kafka consumers available out of the box
   so that I can correctly monitor streaming applications without having to setup an external prometheus. In addition Consumer lag is the key metric to monitor for end to end health of streaming apps(ie to ensure they are keeping up with demand), you cannot put a streaming app into production with out correct monitoring and alerting on this metric.

   Background
   1. there is a consumer lag on the default metrics dashboard but it does not work.
   2. I contact support and found that consumer lag is an early access feature that they enabled for me, but in order to get it into grafana it requires setting up an external prometheus(we cant do it all natively in Aiven)
   3. Here is support ticket for Reference: #89595

4. Support for both allow and black lists in Kafka service

   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.

5. Cluster leader balancing CPU vs Disk - can we choose?

   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?

7. 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.

8. 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).

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

11. 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 :

12. Support S3 as a source and sink for Flink

    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.

14. Field Level Encryption Support for Aiven Products

    TL;DR;
    As Aiven Customer
    I want to be able to be able to encrypt any form of sensitive data (PII or PCI) so that I can manage sensitive data in a legally compliant and user-privacy respectful manner.

    Detailed description of the proposal:
    Hi Aiven!
    Hope all is well with you. I have a feature/service suggestion which I believe will make your existing product portfolio even stronger!

    It’s a thing I call “Aiven for Privacy FTW!” and it’s basically a standalone “field-level-encryption” service used for managing of PII and PCI fields/properties in the event payload in legally (eg. GDPR and/or CCPA) and secure manner (ie. sensitive data encrypted in transit and at rest).

    I made a following high-level architecture/component diagram with aim to visualize how would “Aiven for Privacy FTW!” fit together with your products and within client context. See attached.

    After drawing and discussing this internally, I realized that it would be even better if this is a stand-alone service that can be instantiated and run fully within the client context and manage sensitive fields/properties even before event enters Aiven managed services. This way, the sensitivity will be fully managed and stay within the client/producer control and will not pollute your services with sensitive data.

    Why should you consider this? I’d like to claim that you’re in unique position in the industry with a portfolio of solutions that can be connected fully end-to-end from event producer to consumer and with this type of functionality you’ll be able to provide a turn-key solution to all your clients.

    Nothing here is new, tbh. There is no novelty here and others are doing/offering something similar already, but no one is giving a full package solution with privacy compliance being made a first class citizen. You could.

    Example of others doing stuff in this area:
    - Snowflake allows their customers to use external tokenizers to unlock/show sensitive data based on the access privilege: https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/security-column-ext-token-intro
    - MongoDB is offering their clients ability to encrypt sensitive data on the client side using: https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/core/csfle/
    - Conduktor provides encryption all the way down to field/property level: https://www.conduktor.io/encryption/

    In all these cases (at least MongoDB and Snowflake), “Aiven for Privacy FTW!” if it becomes a thing could be used if done as a stand-alone service. So, it could strengthen your position further in the industry.

    I hope you will consider this and feel free to contact me either directly or through our Aiven KAM, Hanna Behr, if you want to talk more about this.

    Thanks,
    Srdjan B. (Eng. Director, Sinch SaaS App Platform)

    I will be closing this out, but the idea is valid. We are looking at building a proxy service for Kafka and this could be in part of the roadmap for that component as you have described. We suggest for those who want to use encryption on Kafka to do this on the producer and consumer sides as the data would be encrypted from end to end.
