Aiven

The Aiven team has landed at Google Cloud Next 🦀 Come find us at Booth #6401 — we'd love to connect, chat and show you what we've been building. Aiven takes the complexity out of open source data infrastructure — managed PostgreSQL, Kafka, OpenSearch, ClickHouse and more, available on Google Cloud Marketplace. #GoogleCloudNext #Aiven #OpenSource #GoogleCloud

Inkless keeps expanding. After launching on GCP recently, we’re excited to bring Inkless to Azure, making it even easier to get started without BYOC. Spin up Inkless services on Azure in just a few clicks and focus on building. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eYKQbEnV #Aiven #Inkless #MicrosoftAzure #Cloud #DevTools

In this episode of Get Kafka-Nated, host Hugh Evans is joined by Anatoly Popov, Senior Software Engineer at Aiven, to dive into one of the most talked-about integrations in the modern data stack: Kafka to Apache Iceberg. Anatolii was accepted to speak at Iceberg Summit 2026 on debugging the Kafka Connect Iceberg Connector, and in this session we’ll cover the talk he would have given, including common failure modes, debugging locally, catalog complexities, and where the integration is heading next. We’ll cover: • Common ways the Kafka Connect Iceberg Connector breaks • How to set up a reproducible local debugging environment • Hive vs REST vs Glue vs Nessie catalog differences • Misconceptions in current documentation • Where Kafka → Iceberg is going next Hosted by Hugh as part of the Get Kafka-Nated series. 📅 April 16th 🕓 4pm GMT 🎤 Live from Crab Week

In this episode of Get Kafka-Nated, host Hugh Evans is joined by Anatoly Popov, Senior Software Engineer at Aiven, to explore one of the most talked about integrations in the modern data stack, Kafka to Apache Iceberg. Anatoly was selected to speak at Iceberg Summit 2026 on debugging the Kafka Connect Iceberg Connector. In this session, he shares the insights from that talk, including common failure modes, how to debug locally, the complexities of different catalogs and where this integration is heading next.

Crab Week 2026 is officially underway! It's our fifth Crab Week, and this year we’re in Croatia. This is a special time of year when we bring all of Aiven together to get behind our shared vision; there are some amazing things coming to our customers and to the developer community. The team is ready to get building. We’re taking the vision, and we’re shipping with velocity. Thank you to all of our team for coming together and making this week so special. We are ready for the future!

We're launching Aiven for DataHub on Limited Availability today and it's worth the wait. When AI agents are expected to navigate complex data environments and deliver accurate results, they need context. Right now, most systems don't give them that. Disconnected tools, missing metadata, no single source of truth - it creates a gap that slows down both humans and AI alike. Aiven for DataHub is our answer to that problem. A managed, open source data catalogue that gives both humans and AI agents the context they need to find, understand, and trust data. Read Stanislav Dmitriev's blog, who has been leading this work, for all the information: https://lnkd.in/e7RYRCtH #DataEngineering #AI #OpenSource #Aiven #DataHub

Your Valkey setup just got a serious upgrade. Aiven for Valkey now supports Valkey 9, and the performance gains are real. We're seeing significant throughput improvements, better memory efficiency, and hash field expiration for more precise data control. But that's not all, we're providing multi-version support. This flexibility allows you to safely test new features or maintain environment stability on a schedule that works for your team.

We see it all the time, PostgreSQL is set up and running queries, but it's not actually production ready. Being production ready means your database can handle failures, stay secure, scale under pressure, and give you full visibility into performance. Without these foundations, you're one bad day away from an outage. That's why we wrote a guide breaking down the four essential factors for production-grade PostgreSQL, covering robust security, high availability, performance optimization, and observability. If you're running PostgreSQL in production today, or planning to, this one's for you: https://lnkd.in/e6txut3X #PostgreSQL #DatabaseEngineering #CloudComputing #DevOps #DataEngineering

We're excited to announce the Limited Availability launch of Aiven Apps! Aiven Apps allows you to unify your code and data, and deploy stateless applications inside your secure Aiven data perimeter, eliminating the need for complex networking, minimizing costly egress fees, and accelerating your path to production for your internal applications. What does this mean for your team? - Deploy anywhere: Run your containerized apps on any cloud, inside your Aiven secure perimeter. - Zero complexity: Avoid the integration costs and complexity of setting up VPC peering and IAM roles. - Native tooling: Use standard Docker Compose, keeping your familiar tooling and workflows. - MCP Integration: Create apps with your favourite AI agents Ready to accelerate your development without the infrastructure headache?

Heading to Iceberg Summit 2026 in San Francisco tomorrow? Meet the Aiven team at booth B2 to learn how to simplify data infrastructure with Apache Iceberg, Kafka and a unified platform. Join us on April 8 and 9 at the Marriott Marquis to explore a smarter way to scale across clouds and regions. https://lnkd.in/eE-YXpKD #IcebergSummit #ApacheIceberg #DataEngineering #Kafka #Cloud
