Streamlined topic ownership
Enable application teams to request and own their Kafka topics directly, with built-in approval workflows that ensure governance without bottlenecks.
Topic catalog for discovery
Our comprehensive topic catalog makes it easy for teams across your organization to discover and reuse existing data streams, preventing duplication and increasing data reuse.
Quality-first data streams, every time
Our integrated Schema Registry automatically enforces data quality and consistency, preventing breaking changes and simplifying data evolution.
Data flow visualizer
Visually map your data flow across Aiven services and easily expand your pipelines.
Case study
From startup to scale:
Powering mission-critical databases
Connectors
A unified platform for your entire data stack
Connect services with a single click. Move data effortlessly between managed databases and streaming services to build powerful, integrated applications.
Features
Enterprise-grade Kafka, without the complexity
Infinite scalability with tiered storage
From real-time analytics to historical insights, build apps that handle it all. Aiven for Apache Kafka® can scale compute and storage independently with tiered storage.
Built-in Schema Registry with Karapace
Ensure data integrity and prevent breaking changes with our open-source, Karapace-powered Schema Registry. It's fully integrated and managed for you.
Predictive consumer lag monitoring
Get ahead of bottlenecks. Our platform provides insights to help you identify consumer lag issues early, crucial for auto-scaling consumers and ensuring smooth data flow.
Automatic failure recovery
Self-healing clusters with automatic failover ensure your services stay online. We run multi-node clusters across availability zones to guarantee our 99.99% uptime SLA.
Effortless data replication
Use our managed MirrorMaker 2 connector to easily replicate data across clusters for disaster recovery, geo-proximity, or hybrid cloud strategies.
