Aiven in action
From zero to query in 2 minutes
Don't just take our word for it. Deploy a fully-managed PostgreSQL cluster and run your first query in minutes.
PostgreSQL plus everything
Most managed PostgreSQL providers stop at database hosting. Aiven takes you further — turning PostgreSQL into a launchpad for streaming, real-time analytics, and blazing-fast caching, all without leaving the platform.
Intelligent query optimization
Optimize your DB performance and queries based on factors like query structure, table characteristics, and indexing.

Case study
From startup to scale:
Powering mission-critical databases
Reliability & scale, simplified for PostgreSQL
Automatic failover
Avoid costly downtime with automatic detection of database failures and promotion of the standby server as the new master.
Highly available
Experience industry-leading uptime of 99.99% for your critical applications.
Point-in-time recovery
Restore your database to any exact moment within the last 30 days to easily recover from errors or revert unwanted changes.
Distributed read-only replica
Scale read capacity and improve global query with read-only replica across regions and clouds.
Connection management
Improve response times and handle greater loads with connection pooling.
Forking
Create copies for snapshots, upgrade testing, or relocating instances across clouds & regions.
The foundation for your next big thing
Single AI data stack
Unify your entire AI data stack—application metadata, vector embeddings, and time-series—within a single PostgreSQL database. With integrated vector search, supporting diverse types, metrics, and nearest neighbor techniques via any PostgreSQL client, you get a powerful, flexible, and familiar foundation for your AI-driven applications.
- Vector search
Resilient backend
We provision instances on NVMe SSDs for significantly lower latency and higher throughput. This foundation scales horizontally with read replicas to offload read-heavy traffic, bolstered by PgBouncer-based connection pooling to efficiently manage high concurrency, collectively forming a robust, high-performance data plane for your mission-critical services.
- Resilient backend
Real-time intelligence
Our Managed PostgreSQL fuels real-time analytics by leveraging the TimescaleDB extension for efficient time-series data handling and JSONB storage for flexible, rapid querying of semi-structured events. Seamless Kafka integration then streams high-velocity data directly into your optimized instance, providing the speed and scalability for immediate insights.
- Data velocity
Geospatial intelligence
PostGIS transforms PostgreSQL into a world-class spatial database, making it the ultimate foundation for any location-aware application. Easily store geometries, run sophisticated spatial analyses like proximity searches, and visualize data on the fly. From logistics platforms to urban planning, PostGIS provides a robust, scalable backend for integrating rich spatial intelligence.
- Location smart
