    Improved

    Aiven for Apache Kafka® Connect

    New transformation available in Aiven Transformations

    A new transformation, `KeyToValue`, is now available in Aiven Transformations for Apache Kafka® Connect. This transformation copies fields from the record key into the value without overwriting the original value. It supports both schema-based (for example, Avro) and schema-less (for example, JSON) data, and allows selective field copying and renaming.

    Key features:

    • Use `key.fields` to specify fields to extract from the key.
    • Use `value.fields` to rename or map key fields into the value.
    • Supports copying the entire key using *.

    For more information, see the GitHub README.

    Aiven Console

    New billing addresses feature

    As part of the billing improvements on the Aiven Platform, billing addresses are now managed separately from billing groups. After adding an address, you can use it as the billing address and shipping address for any of your billing groups. This makes it easier and faster to set up new billing groups and edit the billing information for existing billing groups.

    Changes to storage on free plans

    Aiven has always aimed to offer a generous free plan to allow users to experience the core benefits of the platform. However, after detailed analysis, we observed that the entire fleet of services is leveraging a small fraction of the resources. To ensure the long-term sustainability of the platform and allow us to continue investing in core features and improvements for all users (both free and paid), we need to update our plan structure. This adjustment helps us balance resources and continue providing a reliable service.

    As of 15 May 2025, the storage allocated to new and existing free plans for Aiven for PostgreSQL® and Aiven for MySQL services has been adjusted from 5GB to 1GB.

    No action is needed regarding your stored data and the service connection details will stay the same. You will still have more than 50 percent of your disk space available. For users who require more storage, Aiven has hobbyist plans for PostgreSQL and MySQL.
