Change the plan for your Standard Kafka service

Change the service plan for your Standard Kafka service to scale resources up or down and optimize costs.

  1. In the Aiven Console, open your Standard Kafka service.

  2. On the Overview page, in Service usage, click Change plan.

  3. In Average ingress, click a rate.

    Aiven uses the rate to estimate compute demand. Aiven assumes egress is three times ingress. Optional: Click Custom and enter a rate.

  4. If Cost optimization is shown, set the estimated share of traffic in diskless topics.

    Cost optimization is shown when you click 10 MB/s or Custom. The slider previews estimated network cost for diskless topic traffic. The slider does not change the service configuration.

  5. In Retention, click a retention period.

    Aiven uses the period for the storage estimate. Optional: Click Custom and enter a period of 1 to 30 days.

  6. In Service summary, review the estimated monthly cost.

    The estimate is based on the selected configuration. The invoice reflects actual usage in the billing period.

  7. Click Upgrade service.

  8. Wait until the service status is Running.
