Everything about Aiven has really been great. Personally i like the partition information about the size, offset etc. With it, it's very easy to create new clusters and enable connectivity with public cloud environments. Also, the user management is quite simple thus making it very easy to work with.

    First, i like the fact that Aiven For Apache Kafka is not something overloaded with lots of features. I have used many applications for various purposes around software development and i can't compare it with any. The user interface is friendly making it super easy to learn and understand. I love how it helps me to debug issues easier when setting up a new project which uses Kafka.
