I first used Aiven Platform five years ago when I was in college for various projects, which included using SQL for my RAG bots and SQL for a finance analysis tool. Last year, I also used it for SQL databases and tools. My main use case for Aiven Platform currently is the SQL database, as I use Aiven Platform's SQL hosted database for my MVPs, such as RAG tools, finance analyzers, archaeology chatbots, or other MVPs which include the usage of SQL databases. My first MVP was built using Aiven Platform and Tesseract OCR. In this project, I asked users to upload their passbook, which was completely encrypted and never stored in any database. Once uploaded, the AI analyzed the passbook data against pre-configured settings to suggest products based on their spending behavior, specifically using SQL to analyze the data with pre-configured data stored on Aiven Platform. In addition to my previous projects, I used Aiven Platform for building another MVP, specifically a pipeline for image classification where I built an integrity checks tool that can run a batch job on the cloud. This allows me to analyze hundreds and thousands of images and store results on whether the person is cheating or not.

I use Aiven for Apache Kafka to handle services dependent on each other. Instead of API calls, we use it for asynchronous processing of all our services. That's the general way we use it.
Aiven for Apache Kafka is a robust data streaming platform utilized for real-time analytics, event-driven architectures, and message brokering, enhancing data processing across systems. It features scalable operations, excellent data replication, and comprehensive monitoring, significantly improving organizational efficiency and decision-making processes through high-level data management capabilities.

Our primary use case is having our PostgreSQL and MySQL databases hosted by Aiven Platform. They serve as our production databases.
