  1. There are parameters like the 'maxworkerprocesses' that cannot be lowered once it's been enabled and increased with the warning message: "PostgreSQL setting 'maxworkerprocesses' cannot be lowered from its current value". It would be nice to be warned prior to toggling and increasing these settings.

  2. As a database administrator or developer,
    I would like to integrate Kerberos authentication with PostgreSQL,
    So that user management becomes centralized through existing Kerberos services like ActiveDirectory, enhancing security, simplifying authentication, and eliminating the need for separate authentication methods.

  3. Allowing WAL compression could be beneficial for several reasons: reduction of disk space usage, IO efficiency, faster replication, generally improving performance.

  4. As Database Administrator or Engineer,
    I want to be able to edit the PgBouncer maxpreparedstatements configuration parameter, as it has a direct impact in the latency of the consumers of the database through the pool.

    Also, the default setting of 100 max prepared statements that Aiven has in the system is incorrect and will cause issues with ORM users when they upgrade the pgbouncer version in Aiven.

  5. As a dba
    I want to add the PGOUTPUT extension
    so that we can use this type of logical replication
    In addition, it is important as our system integration requires it to work, and it is generally better performing over test_decoding

  6. As a database administrator,
    I would like to be able to see the availability zone locations of the cloud region where my high-availability capable PostgreSQL or MySQL database cluster resides, and I would like to be able to initiate a manual high-availability takeover operation for that cluster,
    so that I can have improved visibility of the availability zones where my database cluster instances are located, and I would have more authority on promotion of read-replicas for the the purpose of troubleshooting performance issues and avoiding incidental issues on specific availability zones.

  7. As a database administrator or developer,
    I would like to perform a cascade power off operation on a database service with read replicas when a power off operation is initiated,
    so that the service hierarchy is navigated, starting with powering off the replicas and ending with the master, all in a single uninterrupted transaction.
    This feature aims to prevent customers from having to set up automatic schedulers on their environments, reducing resource waste and ensuring a seamless and efficient power off process for the database service.

  8. As a database administrator for a large enterprise,
    I want to be able to leverage an Aiven platform API,
    so that I can extract and archive, logical backups of my instances in order to meet and pass industry audit and compliance checks for data retention.
    These periods of retention could vary but be as long as 3 years. I would not expect to be able to restore these logical backups in the Aiven platform, and would be manage this myself should I need to.

  10. As a database administrator or developer,
    I would like to access the service upgrade logs after a failed and reverted upgrade,
    so that I would be able to troubleshoot the problem myself before retrying, and without requiring the assistance of the support team.

  11. Make it possible to change the default SSL mode.
    This way, by setting this value to "verify-full", we can make it so that anyone trying to connect to the database MUST have the CA certificate.

    Because currently, what's the point of the CA certificate if it is not mandatory?

  12. As a database administrator or developer, I would like to query and analyze large volumes of data efficiently in PostgreSQL as a column-oriented database so that I can achieve fast and parallelized analytics without extensive code changes, reducing processing time from weeks to minutes.

  13. As a database administrator or developer,
    I would like to utilize the pgwaitsampling extension in PostgreSQL,
    so that I would be able to gather sampling-based statistics on wait events for troubleshooting dependencies for queries that take longer than expected.

  15. As a database administrator or developer,
    I would like to be able to set the database client connection port within the allowed public ports range,
    So that I would be able to set the same port for all of my services which will allow me to have unified persistent rule on my firewall for my databases, facilitating smooth database operation within the firewall parameters. Altering firewall configurations can prove arduous.

  17. As DBA I want to have better logging using the PostgreSQL v15 logging feature to save the logs in JSON format so that I can integrate these logs in OpenSearch and provide better readability of these logs.

    This will provide 2 things:
    1 - Parse of the fields of the log entries -> give more capabilities searching the logs - easily filter some field like user/database/application name
    2 - Multi line queries in one log entry -> right now, multi line queries saves each line in a different log entry, which is very hard to filter a full query since…

  18. Aiven end customers and their security teams are asking for support for more modern authentication methods, mainly scram-sha256. Scram has been supported by Postgres since version 10. Introducing the support in Aiven platform would allow customers to enchance their database security.

  20. A fast way to optimize my PostgreSQL & MySQL databases automatically.

    As a software engineer/DevOps, I would like to see my slowest queries and receive recommendations along with a newly rewritten version of the query, optimized to run 10 times faster. These optimizations could potentially save my team an average of 50 weekly hours, which are currently spent manually optimizing these queries.
    I would like to perform these optimizations directly from Aiven's console.

    Additionally, It is critical that the optimization process be 100% non-intrusive and not require access to my databases' sensitive data.
