It's essentially the same quality and service that we were getting from our other providers (Heroku for postgres, InfluxCloud for our influx db), but for a better price. I needed to copy a postgres db from Heroku to Aiven, and was able to find some helpful documentation and complete the task easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are looking to lower the cost of running our software by moving some of our databases to being hosted in Aiven.

We're in the student loan industry and quickly scaling up as we gain lending licenses in every state.

Every once in awhile, we "check up on" the database -- yep, it's still there -- and we go back to our code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
