Create a service

Create Aiven services to store your data, or stream it in real time.

Create a database service

To create a database service in Aiven Console:

1. In your project, click Services.

2. Click Create service.

3. Select a service type.

4. Select a Cloud.

5. Select a Plan.

   note

   The plans available can vary between cloud providers and regions for the same service.

6. In the Service details, enter a name for your service.

7. Optional: Add service tags.

8. In the Service summary, click Create service.

The status of the service is Rebuilding during its creation. When the status is Running, you can start using the service. This typically takes a couple of minutes and can vary between cloud providers and regions.

Create a Kafka service

Create an Apache Kafka service on Aiven by choosing a cluster type.

• Inkless Kafka supports classic topics and diskless topics. On Aiven Cloud, sizing is based on service throughput. On Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC), sizing is based on the selected plan. In Inkless Kafka, classic topics use managed remote storage by default.

• Classic Kafka uses fixed plans with local broker storage, with optional tiered storage when supported by the selected plan and cloud.

To compare cluster types and start service creation, see Create an Apache Kafka service on Aiven.
