    Controlled upgrade pipelines for maintenance updates (limited availability)

    You can now use controlled upgrade pipelines to decide when maintenance updates progress between services. This helps you validate updates in a lower-risk environment before they reach production.

    Create an upgrade step from a source service to a destination service of the same type. After the source service receives a maintenance update, validate it to let the destination service become eligible for the same update. You can build chains like development to staging to production, and you can connect one source service to multiple destination services. Controlled upgrade pipelines support manual validation and automatic validation after a delay.

    See Control maintenance updates with upgrade pipelines to learn more.
    This feature is in limited availability. Contact Aiven to request access.

      Aiven for Valkey™

    Valkey™ Bloom module now available on Aiven for Valkey

    What's new

    The Valkey Bloom module is now available on Aiven for Valkey services running Valkey 9 and later. It adds a probabilistic Bloom filter data type that lets you test set membership using very little memory. A Bloom filter can tell you that an element is possibly in a set or definitely not in a set, which makes it well suited to high-traffic use cases such as preventing cache penetration, deduplicating streams, and filtering out known items.

    Key features

    • Space-efficient membership tests: Check whether an element is likely present or definitely absent using a fraction of the memory needed to store the elements themselves.
    • Auto-scaling filters: Filters expand automatically as you add elements, preserving the configured false positive rate.
    • Configurable accuracy: Set a custom capacity and false positive rate per filter.
    • Persistence: Bloom filters are saved and restored together with the rest of your Valkey data.

    Configuration

    Valkey Bloom is enabled by default on all Aiven for Valkey services running Valkey 9 and later. No configuration is required, and the module cannot be disabled.

    The following BF.* commands are available immediately: BF.ADD, BF.EXISTS, BF.MADD, BF.MEXISTS, BF.RESERVE, BF.INSERT, BF.CARD, and BF.INFO.

    Getting started

    • For existing services: Apply the available maintenance update to activate Valkey Bloom, then start creating filters with BF.RESERVE and checking membership with BF.ADD and BF.EXISTS.
    • For new services: Valkey Bloom is enabled automatically when you create a new Aiven for Valkey service running Valkey 9 or later.

      Aiven for Valkey™

    Valkey™ Search module now available on Aiven for Valkey

    What's new

    The Valkey Search module is now available on Aiven for Valkey services running Valkey 9 and later. It extends Valkey with a high-performance search engine that supports vector search, full-text search, and hybrid queries over data stored in Valkey Hash and Valkey JSON.

    Key features

    • Vector search: Run Approximate Nearest Neighbor (HNSW) or exact K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) searches with low latency.
    • Hybrid search: Combine vector queries with numeric, tag, and full-text filters in a single query.
    • Flexible indexing: Create indexes over Valkey Hash and Valkey JSON data types.
    • Cluster support: Fully supported on Aiven for Valkey cluster plans.

    Configuration

    Valkey Search is enabled by default on all Aiven for Valkey services running Valkey 9 and later. No configuration is required, and the module cannot be disabled.

    The following FT.* commands are available immediately: FT.CREATE, FT.SEARCH, FT.AGGREGATE, FT.DROPINDEX, FT.INFO, and FT._LIST.

    Getting started

    • For existing services: Apply the available maintenance update to activate Valkey Search, then start creating indexes with FT.CREATE and querying them with FT.SEARCH.
    • For new services: Valkey Search is enabled automatically when you create a new Aiven for Valkey service running Valkey 9 or later.

    New granular permissions for billing

    Two new organization-level permissions have been added for the billing pages in Console, organization:billing:read and organization:billing:write. Previously, users who needed access to edit billing groups or view invoices needed to have organization admin privileges. With the new billing permissions, you can limit access based on actual need.

    The organization:billing:write permission lets users manage billing information and payment methods. For users who only need to view payment details and invoices, the organization:billing:read permission grants read-only access.

    More information on permissions is available in the documentation.

      Aiven for Apache Kafka®

    Avro schema references in Karapace 6.1.0

    Karapace 6.1.0 supports schema references for Avro schemas.

    Schema references let you register schemas that depend on other schemas already stored in Schema Registry. This helps you reuse shared definitions across subjects instead of copying the same schema definitions into each schema.

    Karapace also supports schema references for Protobuf schemas. Schema references are not supported for JSON Schema.

    For more information, see Schema references in Karapace.
