Aiven
Open source data infrastructure, made simple.

Aiven is a fully managed, AI-ready open source data platform that provides services like Apache Kafka, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and OpenSearch across major cloud providers. It handles infrastructure operations, security, and scaling so developers can focus on building rather than managing data tools. The platform offers a free tier with no credit card or time limit, plus enterprise options including bring-your-own-cloud deployment.
Aiven hosts and fully manages popular open-source data services across any major cloud provider, accessible via a single API and console.
