    Data types

    • JSON, Dynamic, Variant are now supported as experimental column data types and will be made widely available during the next version upgrade.

      • After the upgrade, Object('json') and JSON are two different data types. Start using Object('json') now.
      • Migration from the Object('json') type to the JSON type will be needed, and Aiven will provide guidance to support you through the process.

    Query analyzer

    The new query analyzer has graduated from experimental to beta. It will be enabled for all services during the next version release. We’d love to already hear and consider your feedback on using it. To try out the new query analyzer, use the following setting:

    SELECT *

    FROM table

    SETTINGS enable_analyzer=1;

    Table engines

    • Experimental TimeSeries table engine has been added, allowing to store metrics using the Prometheus protocol. The engine is not production-ready and hasn’t been enabled yet.
    • S3Queue storage engine is undergoing testing and stabilization. The engine is not production-ready and hasn’t been enabled yet.

    Introducing organization VPCs

    Aiven has launched organization-wide virtual private clouds (VPCs) as a limited availability feature. Now you can create and peer with organization VPCs while continuing to use your existing project VPCs.

    An organization VPC allows you to create a single VPC peering connection to multiple Aiven project within the organization. Beyond that, organization VPCs bring simplified connectivity and networking, easier operations and maintenance, improved scalability and flexibility, and reduced complexity.
