Case Study: Norauto achieves rapid database provisioning and simplified DevOps with Aiven

Norauto’s developers spin up databases faster than ever with Aiven

Norauto, the retail arm of the Mobivia group, runs numerous customer-facing digital services on Azure using open source tools (Kafka, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Elasticsearch & Redis). Their IT team needed to avoid vendor lock‑in and lower TCO but found deployment, scaling, security and maintenance were slowing developers, so they searched for a cloud‑friendly managed database provider such as Aiven.

Norauto chose Aiven’s managed services — using Aiven Kafka, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Elasticsearch and Redis — which provide predictable pricing, strong support, auto‑healing and a 99.99% uptime commitment. The result: developers can self‑serve databases ("click and create"), a new hire can stand up a PostgreSQL instance in under an hour, turnaround times and developer satisfaction have increased, and Norauto reports near‑zero downtime and greatly simplified DevOps thanks to Aiven.
