Deploy anywhere
Run containerized apps on any cloud. Write once, move without re-architecting.
Aiven Runtime
Unify your code and data
Deploy your applications and AI agents right next to your data, in one production-ready environment.
One environment, everything in between handled
Your code and data have drifted apart, and bridging them is weeks of VPC peering, IAM and egress. Aiven Runtime closes that gap.
Zero complexity
Your app runs beside your data and inherits its security and networking.
Native tooling
Keep Docker Compose, Containerfiles and your existing repos. Aiven wires up your services for you.
Agent-ready
Run AI agents next to your data, so they act on live data without it leaving your environment.
git push to production
Prototype locally, ship to production unchanged. The same definition runs on your laptop and on Aiven - no rewrite between the two.
Write
Use your existing repos. Describe your app with a Containerfile or Docker Compose file.
Deploy
Point Aiven at it - it builds the image and wires your services in automatically.
Run
Inside your data perimeter, next to the services it depends on.
In-perimeter AI & agents
Deploy AI models and agents inside your data perimeter - secure, private, and acting on live data.
Data utility & ops
Process data at the source and eliminate the data commute.
Alerting & monitoring
Turn passive data into active intelligence: detect anomalies and trigger alerts locally.
Internal tools
Secure dashboards, notebooks and APIs for production insights.
Aiven Data & AI Cloud
Where your apps and agents run
Aiven Runtime is one layer of the Aiven Data & AI Cloud for builders, where your apps and agents run next to your data - seamlessly managed via CLI or MCP.
Get started with Aiven Runtime
Aiven Runtime is generally available today. If you can write a Containerfile, you can be running next to your data in minutes.
Frequently asked questions
Yes, although some outbound ports will be blocked for security reasons (see the documentation). The content of your application is under your control, and we do not otherwise try to restrict access to other resources (although excessive network traffic might be regarded as unfair use of a free service).
No, you may connect to any Aiven services as you wish. That includes free services, services on the free trial, and paid services.
Aiven Runtime is ideal for lean teams who need enterprise-grade apps without the overhead of a dedicated DevOps army, allowing them to go from zero to an internal app in minutes with minimal settings or configurations.
Aiven Runtime is built on open standards. If your application can be containerized with a Containerfile, it can run natively on Aiven. This ensures you can keep your existing clients and workflows without learning platform-specific configurations.
No. Because Aiven Apps uses commonly used public file formats like Docker Compose and community standards, you retain full control of your stack. You can move your logic across clouds (AWS, GCP, Azure) without a rewrite.
It solves the problem of cloud fragmentation by allowing you to stop rewriting the same application for different providers. You can build your application once and move it across clouds like AWS, GCP, or Azure without the need for re-architecting.
Aiven Runtime provides a "Secure Data Perimeter" by running your code inside the same VPC or network boundary as your production data. This ensures that "what happens in the VPC, stays in the VPC," minimizing security vulnerabilities associated with moving data across different providers.
Running apps locally within the data perimeter minimizes egress fees that typically occur when moving massive datasets to external platforms for processing.
Aiven Runtime is a specialized app platform best suited for:
- Data Utility & Operations: Real-time filtering, classifying, and sanitizing of data streams.
- Alerting & Monitoring: Detecting anomalies and triggering alerts locally to avoid egress costs.
- Internal Tools: Building secure dashboards, APIs, and notebooks for production insights without "Shadow IT" risks.
- LLMs & AI Agents: Deploying AI models securely and privately inside your data perimeter.
Aiven Runtime is not intended as a general-purpose web host for public-facing, high-scale web apps. It is also not a replacement for complex ETL platforms like Apache Flink; it targets the 80% of data-layer logic that is too complex for simple configuration but too light for a full stream-processing platform.
