Coming soon: MySQL on Aiven

In 2019, Aiven launched Aiven for MySQL, a popular database engine designed to improve handling of backups in cloud environments. The company's mission is to allow developers to focus on their applications while they manage the data infrastructure. Aiven for MySQL was expected to be available by the end of Q1 with general availability during Q2. The launch required implementing new tools for better backup handling and integrating monitoring data with external systems, which would be published on GitHub as per their open-source commitment.
