Why you(r boss) should choose Aiven

Panu Kalliokoski, Senior Software Engineer at Aiven, shares his experience of convincing management to adopt Aiven as a solution for running data-oriented background services such as databases in a modern and automated way. He discusses the challenges faced when trying to get everyone on board with this approach, particularly within more established organizations where personal factors and power struggles can make it difficult to agree on how things should be done. Kalliokoski provides arguments for using Aiven over existing cloud solutions, addressing concerns about vendor lock-in, integration with existing infrastructure, and the cost of managing data services in-house.
