Case Study: Aiven achieves high-performance, compact time-series monitoring and global DBaaS with InfluxData

Aiven - Customer Case Study

Aiven is a next-generation managed cloud service for infrastructure software that delivers Database-as-a-Service offerings like InfluxDB and Grafana across 47 data centers worldwide. Faced with the need to provide a scalable, high-performance time-series backend for monitoring—one that supports long retention, high sample resolution, compact storage, and seamless operations such as online plan upgrades and no-downtime regional migrations—Aiven needed a solution that balanced efficiency with ease of use and resilience.

Aiven adopted InfluxDB for its own monitoring because of its strong performance, compact database sizes, and easy downsampling with continuous queries, then rolled the same managed service out to customers. The result is a globally available, easy-to-adopt managed InfluxDB offering that preserves long metrics histories at high resolution, simplifies operational tasks like upgrades and migrations, and delivers the fault resilience and peace of mind Aiven promises.
