  1. As a DBA
    I want to be able to click a button or call an API to initiate a primary -> secondary failover
    so that I can recover from an issue that Aiven isn't detecting, or so I can exercise my own availability tests.
    This should be available for all DB engines.

    Thank you

  2. 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.

  4. 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

  7. 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.

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

  16. 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.

  19. 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.
