Tiered storage in Aiven for Apache Kafka®

Tiered storage is now production-ready to enhance your data management capabilities in Aiven for Apache Kafka®. This powerful feature improves storage efficiency by reducing local disk usage for recent data and expanding retention capabilities by storing data in a remote tier. The supported cloud providers for this feature are AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. Tiered storage must be activated at the project level by contacting Aiven support, as you cannot enable it directly.

Key benefits include:

• Scalability: Independently scale storage and compute resources.
• Cost efficiency: Offload less critical data to more cost-effective remote storage.
• Operational speed: Boost performance and enable faster transitions between cloud providers.
• Granular control: Customize data management with per-topic storage settings.
• Infinite retention: Store data indefinitely without space constraints.
