  1. As a developer using Aiven for Valkey,
    I would like to have support for the JSON data type,
    so that I can store, update, and retrieve JSON values in an Aiven for Valkey database, similar to any other data types.

  2. 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.

  3. 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

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. It would be great to be able to see the end time of when a backup is completed.
    This way you can know how long the backup took. As well as monitor and see when the lock error will no longer occur.

  7. As a customer
    I want to change the values of innodb_buffer_pool_size, innodb_buffer_pool_instances, and innodb_buffer_pool_chunk_size
    so that I can tune the DB config to better suit my workload
    In addition, I understand that any changes should be within sensible limits, as taking too much memory away from the OS can cause OOM errors.

  8. 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.

  10. As a database administrator or developer,
    I would like to be able to change the behavior of the MySQL Optimizer at the global level by changing the variable of the optimizerswitch with values such as "indexmergeintersection=off" or "preferordering_index=off",
    so that I would be able to optimize my query performance.

  12. 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.

  13. 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?

  16. As a mysql administrator, I would like to be able to enable the slow query log on a read-only replica.

    Current state.
    The slow query log can have one of two output destinations. Log file, and the mysql.slowlog table on the server itself. Docs for reference
    https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/log-destinations.html
    Log Output:
    This currently cannot be configured for Aiven managed Mysql services. This is because customers do not have access to the underlying filesystem for service nodes.
    Table Output:
    This is the output destination used by Aiven hosted Mysql services, for the same reasoning above.
    This means that when an Aiven managed

  17. As DEV
    I want my admin user to have access to snapshot statuses over GET snapshot/status API (https://opensearch.org/docs/latest/api-reference/snapshots/get-snapshot-status/)
    so that I'll be able to monitor and prevent my applications to fail because a snapshot blocks index management.

  20. 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.
