  Aiven is a managed open-source data infrastructure platform that enables developers and
  organizations to provision, operate, and scale open-source data services across all major
  cloud providers. The platform offers fully managed Apache Kafka, PostgreSQL, OpenSearch,
  Redis, MySQL, ClickHouse, and other data technologies through a unified REST API and
  console. Aiven handles infrastructure provisioning, backups, upgrades, monitoring, and
  security so teams can focus on building applications rather than managing infrastructure.
  Pricing is all-inclusive and hourly-billed, covering VMs, networking, backups, and
  maintenance with no hidden fees across Free, Developer, Startup, Business, and Premium tiers.

      The Aiven REST API provides programmatic access to the Aiven platform for provisioning
      and managing open-source data services including Apache Kafka, PostgreSQL, OpenSearch,
      Redis, MySQL, ClickHouse, and more. The API supports full lifecycle management of
      services, projects, organizations, billing, VPCs, integrations, and user access controls.
      Authentication is via personal access tokens or OAuth2 authorization code flow with
      granular scopes for accounts, billing, projects, and services.
