Sovereignty on paper isn't sovereignty in practice

Self-hosting for compliance gets expensive fast

Running your own open source infrastructure to satisfy data residency requirements pulls builders away from the work that grows the business. Teams spend 40% or more of their time on upgrades, patching, and rebalancing instead.

A data centre in the EU doesn't guarantee EU sovereignty

Storing data in Frankfurt or Helsinki doesn't remove it from foreign jurisdiction if the cloud provider is headquartered outside the EU. Data sovereignty means legal clarity over who governs your data, not just where the disks sit.

Choose your region, keep your compliance.

Aiven runs Kafka, PostgreSQL, OpenSearch, ClickHouse, and Valkey fully managed on the cloud and region you pick, including EU-only deployments through our Bring Your Own Cloud model and partnership with EU-based UpCloud.

Why teams move to Aiven

Everything enterprise teams need from a data platform

Security and compliance

GDPR, DORA-ready, and SOC 2 Type II, with ISO 27001 certification. PrivateLink and VPC peering on AWS, GCP, and Azure. BYOK encryption and SSO with your identity provider.

Data residency, your choice

Deploy on AWS, GCP, or Azure in the exact region your compliance team requires. Move workloads between clouds without moving your data across borders. No proprietary extensions, no egress penalties.

Enterprise operations

99.99% uptime SLA with defined RTO and RPO. Named account manager and solutions engineering access. Full Terraform and Pulumi provider support, plus Kubernetes operators for lifecycle management.

Cost optimization

Run infrastructure sized to what you use. No overprovisioning, manual tuning, or wasted spend. Your team spends less time on maintenance, freeing everyone to focus on higher-value, revenue-driving work.

Bring your own EU cloud

Run Aiven inside your own GCP account for full control over data location and access. Combined with our UpCloud partnership, keep workloads inside EU borders from deployment to teardown.

Services tuned to your workload

Managed Kafka, PostgreSQL, OpenSearch, Valkey, and ClickHouse run under one platform and operational model. You get one control plane and one team no matter which combination of services you're using.
