Aiven Kafka 1.0 Is Now Ready

Apache Kafka 1.0 is now available on the Aiven platform, bringing enhanced metrics support, improved memory usage during partition reassignment, and support for Java 9. The release represents a "Completeness of our vision" according to Neha Narkhede, CTO of Confluent. Aiven Kafka will be making these metrics available in the upcoming weeks. Newly created Aiven Kafka services will be running on 1.0 automatically and current client Kafka services will be upgraded in January.
