  3. 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.

  4. 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…

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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:

  11. As a developer
    I want to copy-paste the Service URI from the Aiven console
    so that I can use it in Java JDBC connection strings as is without changing postgres:// to postgresql:// (see https://jdbc.postgresql.org/documentation/use/).
    In addition, the official docs allow both postgresql:// and postgres://, but JDBC does not seem to honour this: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/libpq-connect.html#LIBPQ-CONNSTRING-URIS

  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 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.

  15. 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.

  16. 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.

  17. 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.

  18. 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.

  20. 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.
