  1. 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…

  2. As a database administrator or developer,
    I would like to be able to access and read binary logs of the database service by using third-party utilities,
    so that I would be able to perform the tasks security auditing, replication monitoring and possibly data recovery on the database.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. As a developer against my Aiven for Cassandra instance,
    I want to have advanced and customisable metrics that I can send to Datadog, in the same way I currently can for my Aiven for Kafka service,
    so that I can get the metrics that are important for monitoring and analysing my workload.

  6. Currently, MySQL slow query logs are stored in the mysql.slow_log table. Adding an option to redirect those logs into service logs would allow log integrations, like OpenSearch, to pick those up and give customers greater value and flexibility.

    It would implicitly solve the following:

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

  14. 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.

  16. As a user of Aiven for Cassandra,
    I want to use the most optimized default settings possible. Apache Cassandra's defaults settings may be outdated as use case evolve and time passes.
    This comes without me, the user, having to change any settings. However, I should be able to tweak those settings if needed in specific cases.

  18. 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.

  19. As a developer or data scientist looking to carry out advanced analytics,
    I want to leverage ANN Vector search across the data in my Cassandra instance,
    so that I can develop machine learning applications and capabilities.

    In addition, the following up stream CEP is of interest to me : https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CASSANDRA/CEP-30%3A+Approximate+Nearest+Neighbor%28ANN%29+Vector+Search+via+Storage-Attached+Indexes

  20. As an organisation running an Aiven for Cassandra instance,
    I want to have the ability to revert an instance back to a specific point in time,
    so that I can recover to a known safe state, to mitigate the impact of any data issues and to meet my organisation's disaster recovery policy.
