Aiven

Aiven is a Finnish technology company founded in 2016 and headquartered in Helsinki, providing a managed data infrastructure platform for open-source technologies. The company addresses the operational burden enterprises face when running databases and streaming systems themselves, offering fully managed services that run on any major public cloud.

The platform packages open-source engines such as Apache Kafka, PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, OpenSearch and MySQL into production-ready managed services, handling provisioning, scaling, backups, security patching and monitoring under an SLA. Customers include Priceline, Adobe, Toyota and DoorDash, which rely on Aiven to run streaming and analytical workloads without operating the infrastructure in-house.
