An excellent, full-featured database provider

Pros:
The general ease of operation for:
- Spinning up new databases
- Scaling up
- Scaling down
- Migrating to a different region
- Restoring backups
Is really great. It's amazing how many features you get out of the box.
The plans with redundancy are also cool because you get full access to the slave as a read-only replica, this means you can run heavy select queries without putting load on the main database.
There is a very significant "it just works" factor to it, which is not something I would imagine myself saying about a database provider so easily.
Cons:
They are not the cheapest
Monitoring/alerting options were a bit lackluste, but this has improved recently.
Aiven is very efficent for me, because is very easy use to

Hello Mario,
Thank you for your review. We¿re glad to hear you have enjoyed the ease of use of our managed PostgreSQL.
First, I wanted to let you know that it is now possible to close connections directly from console.
Second, our logs view has been improved; for longer logs retention, we support integration to Elasticsearch, where you can keep logs for unlimited (limited by amount of disk space) time.
Thanks again!
Excellent, well-designed product. Hard to imagine an easier solution to this problem.

Pros: The best feature is how easy it is to get up and running. Once you've set up an instance, you literally (in our case) just had to copy-and-paste the database URL into our site's (Django-based) configuration. The fact that scaling the instances is so easy also makes it quite comfortable to just start with a small one and then upgrade it as your needs increase.
Cons: We had one or two cases where the instance was unreachable, even though the dashboard reported that it was up. Considering the price, this is pretty good for over a year of service with no redundancy, though. Also, automatically upgrading the PostgreSQL version is obviously a double-edged sword. An opt-out feature might be helpful. We once started getting some errors when the postgres-server version changed.
Aiven is the perfect, no-lock-in DB solution

Pros: Aiven makes it trival to move databases between cloud providers. The stickiest thing about any hyperscaler (AWS/Google/Azure) is your data - it's a PAIN to move. Aiven makes changing your cloud provider a literal point and shoot operation, something that could take weeks of planning trying to from RDS to Cloud SQL or the like.
Cons: A little more customization in the pricing would be nice (and the ability to run within a VPC instead of having to peer VPCs), but honestly there's very little I don't like about Aiven.
Remote replicas to the rescue!

Comments: We tested and we loved it, the remote replica is a service that takes weight out of our shoulders in a brilliant and simple way.
Pros: The interface is easy to use and intuitive. The remote replica option is saving the company time. In the past, it was hard to manage and configure the remote replicas using tools like Bucardo and PostgreSQL in RDS, which does not support binary replication (at least it didn't back then). The replicas between the remote databases happen almost instantly. Great support for extensions.
Cons: The chat support takes a long time to answer the questions but when they do, the answers are to the point and helpful.
