  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  7. 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. 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.

  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…

  13. 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.

  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.

  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.
