  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  8. 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.

  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. As a user managing PostgreSQL service accounts through Terraform,
    I want to ensure that enabling the replication option using your Terraform provider does not lead to the recreation of the service account.
    This way, the service account can retain its ownership and privileges over database objects such as tables and functions, avoiding potential disruptions.
    Additionally, maintaining ownership and privileges is crucial for seamless operation and consistency in our database management processes.

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

  12. As a database administrator or developer, I would like to integrate PostgreSQL with external databases using the TDS protocol so that I can seamlessly access data in Microsoft SQL Server and Sybase 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.

  13. As developer against Cassandra,
    I want to simplify my development by using APIs such as GraphQL that I am familiar with,
    so that I can get to market quickly, with minimal learning spent with CQL.
    An example of which might be the open-source https://stargate.io/

  14. As the founder, we are interested in enabling multiple users to MySQL Database directly via the Aiven CLI, preferably utilizing Octopus Deploy. They have a community step template which can facilitate the creation of users if they don't already exist. In order to set up a connection to Aiven CLI within our CI/CD, the Aiven CLI needs to be installed within the octopusdeploy/worker-tools. Configuration instructions for this can be found on Github, specifically at https://github.com/OctopusDeploy/WorkerTools/tree/master/ubuntu.22.04 and https://github.com/OctopusDeploy/WorkerTools/blob/master/windows.ltsc2019/Dockerfile. Further information is available on Docker Hub at https://hub.docker.com/r/octopusdeploy/worker-tools.

  15. As the founder and product-owner, I am leveraging the Redisson client to establish a connection to the Redis servers. Unfortunately, Aiven has yet to incorporate the CA certificate. We ensure our connections are made via the Redisson client, which necessitates end-to-end encryption. To facilitate this, we require the CA certificate, either supplied by Aiven or a custom CA, during the use of the Redisson client as found on redisson.org and redisson.pro. According to the configuration guide on Github, this procedure guarantees that all traffic is consistently encrypted from one end to another. This feature is essential for us to deliver…

  17. 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

  18. 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.

    I would like to perform chemical substructure searches and similarity searches on molecules and reactions efficiently,
    so that I can quickly retrieve relevant chemical data and improve the accuracy and speed of chemical searches within the PostgreSQL database.

  20. 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.
