We have big news. OpenSource DB partned with Aiven, the leading open-source data platform in the cloud, and together we’ll be at PGConf India 2026 in Bengaluru. This partnership brings together the deep PostgreSQL expertise our clients depend on and the enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure Aiven is renowned for. The result? Database solutions that were simply not possible before.
PostgreSQL has never been more capable, more popular, or more demanding to operate at scale. As workloads grow more complex and uptime expectations become non-negotiable, the gap between “a running database” and “a world-class database platform” keeps widening. That’s exactly where this partnership lives, in that gap.
OpenSource DB has spent years helping businesses architect, tune, and rescue PostgreSQL environments. Aiven has built one of the most resilient managed data platforms on the planet. Combining these two forces means our clients get hands-on expert guidance and industrial-strength infrastructure under one roof.

What Only OpenSource DB + Aiven Can Solve?
Some database challenges require more than a platform — they require expert human judgment layered on top of the right infrastructure. Here are the scenarios where our partnership delivers outcomes that neither of us could achieve alone.
USE CASE 01
99.99% Availability: For Systems That Cannot Go Dark
Mission-critical applications in fintech, healthcare, and e-commerce cannot afford database downtime, not even for seconds. Aiven’s architecture leverages multiple availability zones, automated failover, and cross-region replication to deliver maximum uptime. OpenSource DB engineers layer on top: designing your schema, replication topology, and failover run-books so that every part of the stack is hardened, not just the infrastructure.
– SLA: 99.99% uptime
– Automated failover in seconds
USE CASE 02
Zero Downtime Upgrades: Evolving Without Interruption
Major PostgreSQL version upgrades are one of the most feared operational events for any team. Done wrong, they mean maintenance windows, service disruptions, and frantic rollbacks. Done right, with Aiven’s platform tooling and OpenSource DB’s hands-on upgrade planning, your applications keep running throughout. We assess your extensions, replication setup, and custom logic upfront, then execute the upgrade with zero application downtime.
– Zero planned downtime
– Pre-flight compatibility checks
– Expert-led execution
USE CASE 03
Real-Time Data Pipelines: PostgreSQL at the Centre of Your Stack
Modern data architectures combine streaming, analytics, and search, all needing to stay in sync. Aiven’s unified platform lets you wire PostgreSQL directly to Apache Kafka for change data capture, OpenSearch for full-text search, and ClickHouse for blazing-fast analytics queries. OpenSource DB architects design the data model and pipeline logic so your real-time stack is cohesive, performant, and maintainable.
– CDC with Kafka
– Real-time analytics
– Unified control plane
“The best database infrastructure is the kind your team never has to think about — because it simply works, every time, at whatever scale you throw at it.”
