  Aiven for PostgreSQL®

  PostgreSQL Anonymizer now available for Aiven for PostgreSQL^®

  Aiven for PostgreSQL® now supports the postgresql_anonymizer extension, which masks or replaces personally identifiable information (PII) or commercially sensitive data in a PostgreSQL database.

  PostgreSQL Anonymizer enables you to:

  • Comply with privacy regulations: By masking or replacing sensitive data (PII).
  • Safely use data in non-production environments: You can work with realistic, yet anonymized, datasets.
  • Apply various masking strategies: Including static (permanent), dynamic (real-time, role-based), and anonymous data dumps.
  • Define masking rules directly in SQL: Making it a declarative and integral part of the database schema.
  • Generate fake but realistic data: For more effective testing and development.

  Learn how to use postgresql_anonymizer on Aiven in Extensions on Aiven for PostgreSQL® > Utilities.

  Aiven for MySQL

  Aiven for MySQL^® incremental backups (limited availability)

  Aiven for MySQL® now supports incremental backups. This feature extends our existing base backup functionality, allowing you to back up only the changes made since your last full backup.

  Key benefits

  • Reduced DDL lock times: For large databases, full backups can cause prolonged DDL (Data Definition Language) locks. Incremental backups significantly reduce this lock duration, especially when there haven't been many changes.
  • Efficient storage: Databases with fewer changes will benefit from less storage consumption, as incremental backups only store the differences.

  Aiven for MySQL® incremental backups is a limited availability feature. For access, contact your account team. For more information, see our documentation.
