My advice to others looking into using Aiven Platform is to focus on leveraging it for more database integration work, as reliability and cost-effectiveness are compelling reasons to adopt the platform. I have been using Aiven Platform for the last five years and have recommended it to people in my organization for creating minimal viable products and prototypes before building actual solutions. I really appreciate the platform. I would rate this review as 7.5 out of 10.
In our experience, we encountered issues with Aiven Platform's connection to Redis. It was not smooth, and though we like the solution overall, we are hesitant about using Redis integration again. Additionally, on a scale of one to ten, I would rate Aiven Platform a nine due to the alck of an interface for backups and a more responsive customer service.
