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

  8. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. 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…

  13. 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.

  16. As a developer, I would like to simplify the process of building search and Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) AI applications with PostgreSQL so that embedding and generation AI models are closer to the database, enabling me to create embeddings, retrieve LLM chat completions, generate responses, and reason over data directly within SQL queries.

  17. 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.

  18. 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.

  19. 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.

  20. 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.
