Schema Registry now available in Aiven for Apache Kafka plans
We've added support for Confluent's Kafka Schema Registry which allows you to store your Kafka message descriptions in a centralized registry. The feature is available in our Business and Premium level Aiven for Apache Kafka plans. It also hooks up automatically with our existing Kafka REST service.
In order to use these features you can easily enable them from the web console:
- Click the Enable button within the Schema Registry URL section.
- Click the Enable button within the confirmation pop-up.
Note that if you're using these with the Java client you will want to patch your Schema Registry client with this small patch that has been suggested for inclusion into the main Schema Registry project.
AWS VPC peering available
We've launched support for Amazon Web Services Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) peering. With VPC peering, you can link Aiven services directly into your own VPC networks. You can access the services with private IP addresses as if they were in the same network.
VPC peering support is now available for all service types and Startup, Business and Premium plans in all Amazon Web Services regions.
Please contact us if you want to try out our VPC support for yourself.
Give Aiven services a whirl
Remember that trying Aiven is free: you will receive US$10 worth of free credits at sign-up which you can use to try any of our service plans. The offer works for all of our services: PostgreSQL, Redis, Grafana, OpenSearch and Kafka!
