    Storage Optimized plans for Aiven for PostgreSQL® on Azure

    Run Aiven for PostgreSQL® on local NVMe disks on Azure. Storage Optimized plans are built for write-heavy and latency-sensitive workloads that need high IOPS and low write latency.

    • 30 plans across the startup, business, and premium tiers
    • 16 GiB to 256 GiB of memory, with 400 GiB to 10,625 GiB of storage
    • At least 180,000 IOPS, scaling with plan size
    • Built on current-generation hardware
    • Available in 27 Azure regions

    Dynamic disk sizing is not available on these plans, so pick your capacity up front.

    Start a new service on a Storage Optimized plan, or change the plan of a service you already run. For the full plan list and per-region prices, see plans and pricing.

      Aiven for AI Gateway

    AI Gateway now in early availability

    Aiven’s AI Gateway provides a unified interface to access multiple AI models through one endpoint.


    During early availability, the gateway includes:

    • Model catalog: Browse all available AI models through a centralized model list.
    • Access keys: Manage API keys to control access and track usage.
    • Metrics: Monitor AI Gateway usage and spend with detailed metrics on which models are used and estimated costs.

    More information is available in the Aiven documentation.

      Aiven Runtime

    Use Aiven Identity for Runtime authentication

    You can now use Aiven’s build-in identity provider (IdP), Aiven Identity, to restrict access to your Runtime applications. Give users in your organization access to an app without configuring an external IdP.

    More information on adding Aiven Identity as an authentication method to your Runtime applications is available in the Aiven docs.

      Aiven for PostgreSQL®

    PG Studio for Aiven for PostgreSQL® generally available

    PG Studio is now generally available for Aiven for PostgreSQL® services. What started as an AI-powered SQL editor is now a full SQL console built into the Aiven Console, split into three tools: SQL editor, Tables, and Extensions. Explore your data, run queries, and manage extensions without leaving your browser or setting up a local client.


    What's new since early availability

    • Separate SQL editor and Tables: The editor and the table browser are now distinct tools in the left-hand menu of your service, each with a layout built for its job.
    • Multi-statement queries: Select and run several statements at once, with each result in its own tab, so the editor works for scripts and not just single queries.
    • Extensions: Explore extensions available in the selected database with their versions and schemas. Enable, disable or update them when a newer version is available. No SQL required.
    • Schema tree: Navigate even complex schemas with ease using the new schema tree in Tables, with more usability improvements on the way.
    • Better result sets: Data types now display correctly, columns follow the order in your statement, and results and pagination are smoother to work with.
    • Session persistence: Your editor session is stored, so reloading the page or navigating away no longer clears your tabs and context.
    • Faster workflows: Tab autocomplete for keywords; Cmd+Enter or Ctrl+Enter to run; and saved queries, which are private to you.
    • Higher rate limits: Query execution limits have been raised.

    Built with security and stability in mind

    • Privacy-first AI: The AI Assistant uses your database schema and the SQL you send as context. Your data is not used to train AI models.
    • Built-in safeguards: Encrypted connections, statement and lock timeouts, blocked privilege-escalation requests, and rate limits help protect your service while you work.

    To get started, see PG Studio for Aiven for PostgreSQL® and Get started with PG Studio.

    We’re listening: Use the feedback option in PG Studio to tell us what works and what doesn’t. We read all of it, and we ship improvements all the time, so what’s missing today might be there tomorrow.

      Aiven Operator for Kubernetes

    Controlled upgrade pipeline is now generally available

    Controlled upgrade pipelines are now generally available. Link services of the same type in an ordered sequence, so you can validate a maintenance update in a lower environment, such as staging, before it reaches production.

    This feature is included with the Advanced or Premium support tier. Manage upgrade pipelines using the Aiven CLI, API, Terraform provider, or Kubernetes operator. Console support isn't available yet.

      Aiven for MySQL

    Aiven for MySQL® upgraded to 8.4.11

    Aiven for MySQL® has been upgraded to the latest minor version 8.4.11, which contains a variety of fixes to previous versions. Removing bugs and security vulnerabilities increases database performance, improves service availability, and helps ensure business continuity. Existing instances will be scheduled for a rolling upgrade as part of our standard maintenance cycle.

    Notable changes in this release include:

    • Optimizer fixes: corrected results for UNION queries with pushed-down conditions, nested merged views with outer joins, and reverse index range scans with ORDER BY and LIMIT.
    • InnoDB fixes: resolved a B-tree deadlock, a temporary tablespace truncation deadlock, skipped records when adding an AUTO_INCREMENT column, and spurious row size errors on spatial indexes.
    • Replication fixes: replication treats SOURCE_RETRY_COUNT=0 as unlimited reconnect attempts, and several replica apply issues are fixed.
    • Lower memory use after upgrades: improved memory management when you upgrade from older 8.x releases with thousands of tables, views, routines, and events.
    • Audit log: fixed account filtering that could stop audit logging, and added the Audit_log_file_count status variable.

    For more information, see the MySQL 8.4.11 release notes.

      Aiven for Apache Kafka® Connect

      Aiven for OpenSearch®

    Upgrade to OpenSearch® 3.8

    OpenSearch® version 3.8 is now available for Aiven for OpenSearch® services. Apply this version on your services to benefit from the 3.8 improvements.

    Highlights

    • Faster vector ingestion: Base64-encoded vector ingestion for knn_vector fields cuts network payload by 74%, delivering up to 4.16x higher bulk ingestion throughput and 83% lower median latency. A benefit for anyone running large-scale semantic search or RAG pipelines.
    • Broader MCP support for AI agents: Model Context Protocol (MCP) support now extends to flow and conversational flow agents, so all four agent architectures can connect to external MCP-compliant tool servers through a consistent connector configuration.
    • Better log analytics with PPL: A new visual PPL query builder lets you construct queries from menus instead of writing raw PPL, four new PPL commands (makeresults, foreach, xyseries, and timewrap) enable period-over-period comparisons, and a new lint engine flags mistakes as you type.
    • Faster troubleshooting in Dashboards: A new Grok Debugger in Dev Tools lets you validate Grok patterns against a sample log line, and a new "Create alert rule" action lets you go from spotting a metric pattern to alerting on it without leaving the page.
    • Security fix: The release upgrades dependencies to address CVE vulnerabilities.
