  6. A fast way to optimize my PostgreSQL & MySQL queries automatically.

    As a software engineer, I would like to submit my query and receive 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, even if my Database is not hosted on Aiven yet.

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

  7. As a DBA
    I want to access the pg_monitor role

  8. As a devops
    I want to have the service startup time in the GET service endpoint
    so that I can know I a service has been UP or STOPPED since more than 7 days for example. For now I have to fetch the activity logs of the project, then look up for the service, then look for the right event (if the status of the service is UP then I'm looking for the "servicepoweron" event else the "servicepoweroff") but sometimes the service is UP for more than 1 year so I can't find the startup date of the…

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

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

  13. As a database administrator or developer, I would like to utilize the Orafce extension in PostgreSQL so that I can easily incorporate familiar database functions and packages from other systems, simplifying the migration process and ensuring compatibility with existing applications and data structures.

  14. As a database administrator or developer, I would like to integrate PostgreSQL with Oracle databases using the oracle_fdw extension so that I can seamlessly access data in Oracle databases from within PostgreSQL using standard SQL queries. This feature simplifies data integration and allows for efficient cross-database operations without the need for complex data migration processes.

  15. 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.

  18. As a security administrator or developer, I would like to utilize Row-Level Security (RLS) in PostgreSQL so that I can control data access at a granular level based on specific conditions, ensuring that users only see and modify the data they are authorized to access. Additionally, I want the ability to assign the BYPASSRLS attribute to trusted roles or users when necessary, allowing them to have unrestricted access to data while still maintaining overall security.

  20. As developer,
    I want to use the ip4r extension as the built-in IP address types in Postgres work okay for many applications, but are lacking when it comes to applications that heavily work with IPs, like ours. ip4r adds several IP types with expanded functionalities that enable us to perform far more efficient "IP in range" type lookups, as well as tracking IP ranges that don't fall neatly in CIDR boundaries, plus general performance improvements. Very useful for our malicious IP threat feed service, abuseipdb.com, as you can imagine.
