Hi,
We know it's a busy time of the year, but we're glad you’re here! Before you turn on your out-of-office auto-responder, we'd love to share everything that has been going on at Aiven (it’s a lot)! There’s the Cluster startup program, AWS PrivateLink support, and keeping sane in open source for starters - read on! |

Cluster startup program (2 min read) Aiven invites fast-growing startups to our new Cluster program, where they can use free credits worth up to US$100,000 to build a modern data infrastructure in the cloud without any data management headaches. For example, you can spin up a single database like PostgreSQL or MySQL to meet an immediate need now and scale with replicas when going into production. Or you could build a powerful
streaming service using Apache Kafka and connect to Grafana for the ready-made dashboards. Perhaps you need to create a quick hobbyist database to test an idea? Aiven is the easiest way. Read more and apply for the program today! |
| Announcing support for AWS PrivateLink (4 min read)
We’re happy to announce that Aiven services now support AWS PrivateLink for secure network connectivity! What does that
mean for you?
With AWS PrivateLink you can reduce your vulnerability to brute force, distributed denial-of-service attacks and other threats. Now you can easily create an Aiven service cluster with PrivateLink enabled, and securely connect to it from your VPC or on-premises network. |

Welcome to the Aiven Open Source Program Office, a.k.a. OSPO! Our OSPO team represents different open source projects at Aiven. Take a look at their latest contributions: Add some Aiven magic to your Laravel project We've added a package that makes it easy to switch between multiple databases and power down whatever you don't need with the Aiven Laravel helper. Read about our new way to easily reconfigure your Aiven database connection. Standardizing message formats on OpenPGP We presented the work carried out on this project at the IETF-112 meeting (Internet Engineering Task Force).
Revamping OpenSearch support of Azure Cloud The process: we ported the Azure Repository plugin from an old unsupported API v8 to a new v12, fully based on Netty. Now OpenSearch uses the latest APIs of Azure Cloud! Enhancements on the SQL layer in Apache Flink Flink SQL is a great API, however sometimes it takes lots of time to
understand problems with the current query. Check out how we implemented some usability improvements. |

| GoTo Financial needed a managed, region-specific Apache Kafka cloud solution for a massive-throughput system, and they needed it quickly. They signed up with Aiven, and found a platform that just quietly works like it should, without any drama. |
