  1. As a database admin or a developer,
    I would like the explain parameterized queries are enabled and the user agent's search path is configured to include all schemas in the Datadog agent configuration,
    so that I would be able to fully utilize the Explain Insights module of the Datadog Database Monitoring feature with my PostgreSQL databases.

  2. As a Database Administrator,

    I want to have the ability to configure the PostgreSQL parameters log_parameter_max_length and log_parameter_max_length_on_error within Aiven's platform,

    so that I can prevent sensitive data from being exposed in database logs, especially during the logging of slow queries.

    In addition, enabling this configuration is crucial for maintaining compliance with data protection regulations and upholding the privacy standards expected.

  3. As a DBA
    I want to monitor the PG replication status through API
    so that I can know the replication status/log before promoting the replica
    In addition, we a DRP process that will promote all our replicas to master through github action and we would like to know the status before promoting the replica

  4. As Database Engineer
    I want to be able to restore to a time before a major in-place upgrade
    so that I can restore data in certain tables for our customers.
    In addition, we communicate to customers that we can restore data back 30 days and an in-place upgrade does not allow that. Doing a fork and an upgrade causes additional downtime and complicates automation that makes use of naming standards.

  5. As a database administrator or developer, I would like multi-region standby capability for my PostgreSQL and MySQL databases so that I can ensure high-availability and business continuity by maintaining standbys across different regions, enabling automatic promotion in the event of a region-wide outage.

  6. As a Software Engineer or DBA, I want to be able to enforce schemas on JSON/JSONB fields in a convenient manner, so that I can ensure bad data doesn't getting written to my database. https://github.com/supabase/pg_jsonschema seems to be the most popular extension for doing this.

  7. As a developer,
    I want to connect to my Aiven for Postgres services without providing credentials and use only certificate authentication as offered by Postgres https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/auth-cert.html
    so that I can be compliant with my internal security policies

  8. As an Operations Engineer
    I want to have logs in JSON format
    so that I can process them in third-party log management and analytics systems without having to write custom parsing rules.

  9. As Database administrator, with a large footprint of applications being served,
    I want to have a read only replica cluster in another region, that is sized appropriately, with it's own read replica nodes provisioned,
    so that I can fail over and that read replica can quickly handle the production workload in the scenario of a disaster in one region/cloud vendor, to minimise any disruption to service.

  10. Based on a similar mechanism with aivendbmigrate I would like to have major release upgrade mechanism based on logical replication.

    Steps:

    1. create an empty target instance with new major release
    2. create a full logical replication setup (like aivendbmigrate does) 2.1. inform users about limitations (lobs, schema changes during that period etc.) 2.2. inform users about testing and rollback capabilities
    3. perform the usual migrate thing with transferring everything and switch to a CDC state until next steps are defined
    4. provide specific cutover scenarios 4.1. DNS switch if possible? 4.2. some pgbouncer magic to prevent forced reconnections of…

  11. As a database administrator or developer,

    I want to easily copy and compare SQL statements which would be easier to do with a monospace type font. It is visually difficult to compare SQL with variable width font.

    Please convert the optimize query page to use a monospace font for the queries.

  12. As a DBA I want to activate "so_reuseport" option so that PGBouncer can use multiple CPUs.
    In the context of a very high concurrent database using PGBouncer, the single process can reach 100% CPU usage. Having multiple PGBouncer processes in the same instance would distribute the load between several processes.

  13. As a developer or database administrator,
    I want to scale and distribute my PostgreSQL databases,
    so that I can handle large-scale data processing and analytics workloads efficiently.

    The Citus extension offers the benefits of scalability, improved performance, fault tolerance, high availability, efficient data distribution, and seamless integration with PostgreSQL, enables the users to effectively manage and process large-scale data workloads.

  14. As a database admin or a developer,
    I would like to be able to terminate running queries in my database as admin,
    so that I would be able to unlock any long-running queries as part of my operations.

  15. As a developer/DBA
    I want to be able to issue the RECONNECT command to pgbouncer
    so that I can ensure all connections reset and have access to up-to-date schema information during migrations.

  17. 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.

  19. As a data privacy officer, database administrator, data analyst/researcher, or compliance officer, I would like the ability to anonymize sensitive data in the database by masking or replacing personally identifiable information (PII) or commercially sensitive data so that I can protect individuals' privacy and ensure compliance with data protection regulations such as HIPAA and GDPR.

  20. As developer
    I want to fork databases as quickly as possible
    so that I can start developing new features immediately and run fast automated tests as a part of my CI/CD.
    In addition, this is especially important for larger database instances which can take a lot time to do a full copy of the entire dataset.

    Also known as copy on write or database branching.
