SHOW NOTES:

• Aiven Homepage
• Aiven closes $100M C-round to expand open source innovation

Topic 1 - Welcome to the show. Before we dive into the work you’re doing to expand open source innovation, let’s talk about your background. 

Topic 2 - Let’s talk about Aiven and the services it provides - all the most popular open source “data-centric” projects (Kafka, Cassandra, Elasticsearch, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, InfluxDB, Grafana), on top of AWS, Azure, GCP, DigitalOcean and UpCloud - plus a bunch of popular integrations (logging, monitoring, authentication, etc.)

• SRE / Support Models
• Pricing Models
• Integrating with the underlying cloud

Topic 3 - How do you typically engage with customers / developers? How much work is typically needed to get those teams initially successful with a given service?

Topic 4 - How does Aiven think about the cloud “shared responsibility model”, in terms of where Aiven’s service stops and the customer's engagement starts? Who is responsible for the data?

Topic 5 - What open source projects are on your radar for adding new services?

Topic 6 - As more technology companies are migrating applications to the cloud, or creating SaaS offerings, are there opportunities for companies to partner with Aiven on the breadth of services you offer?
