      Aiven for Apache Kafka® Connect

    AMQP source connector for Apache Kafka Connect®

    Aiven for Apache Kafka Connect® now supports the AMQP source connector.

    The AMQP source connector reads messages from AMQP-compatible queues, such as RabbitMQ, and writes them to Apache Kafka® topics. Each source message is serialized as JSON and written as a Kafka record with a generated ULID key.

    Key considerations:

    • Supports AMQP queues only.
    • key.converter must use StringConverter.
    • value.converter must use StringConverter or JsonConverter.
    • For single-queue deployments, tasks.max=1 is recommended unless multiple consumers are intentionally configured.
    • Messages available while the connector is offline can be missed.

    For configuration and usage details, see the AMQP source connector documentation.

      Improved
      Aiven API

    Project API endpoints are deprecated

    The following project API endpoints are deprecated:

    • GET /v1/project: Use GET /v1/organization/{organization_id}/projects instead.
    • DELETE /v1/project/{project}: Use DELETE /v1/organization/{organization_id}/project/{project_id} instead.
    • GET /v1/project/{project}: Use GET /v1/organization/{organization_id}/project/{project_id} instead.
    • PUT /v1/project/{project}: Use PATCH /v1/organization/{organization_id}/project/{project_id} instead. The replacement is a PATCH endpoint, which changes this from full replace to partial update.
    • GET /v1/account/{account_id}/projects: Use GET /v1/organization/{organization_id}/projects instead.

    If you previously relied on a single global listing call using GET /v1/project, you now need to iterate organizations and call the organization-scoped listing endpoint per organization.

    For more information, see the Aiven API documentation.

    • Kafka Connect add-on starts at $20 USD/month
    • Extending retention beyond the default increases the monthly cost

    Limitations

    • Intended for development and test workloads, not production

      Aiven for ClickHouse®

    Default ClickHouse version for new services changes to 25.8

    Starting May 5, 2026, the default Aiven for ClickHouse version is 25.8. New services created without a specified version use 25.8. Existing ClickHouse services running version 25.3 are not upgraded automatically.

    To avoid unintended version changes, explicitly specify the ClickHouse version in your infrastructure-as-code (IaC) configuration.

    To upgrade an existing ClickHouse 25.3 service, refer to the ClickHouse version management documentation.
