Tony’s first RFC landed in AWS’s OpenSearch migration project, a few people inside AWS asked, “Who’s this guy?” The first AWS maintainer he spoke with saw the value add Google Cloud support, and next, build the Terraform solution their customers want. AWS got what its customers asked for. Aiven customers benefited with being able to choose and so did anyone running OpenSearch on Google Cloud, even self-managed or with another vendor.

For years Aiven has been an incredibly easy way to deploy your favorite open source databases... Now we're working to make it easier to deploy Apps too! Chapters AIVEN DATA PLATFORM The Aiven Platform is more than a collection of open source services for streaming, storing and analyzing data. The platform ensures that all services run reliably and securely in the clouds of your choice, are observable, and can easily be integrated with each other and with external 3rd party tools.

Aiven Senior Solutions Architect Tony Piazza joined the company in March. Within months he had merged five PRs adding Google Cloud support and Terraform-based provisioning to the OpenSearch Migration Assistant, a tool that previously only worked on AWS. Tony talks with Jay Miller about: Why he went from consulting to open source contribution. How a consultant’s habit of finding project risks early shaped the work. His first conference keynote at OpenSearchCon. What contributing as a vendor-neutral company looks like. Where he’s contributing next, including ML Commons, Data Prepper and the docs.

LLM providers charge you for caching, and they do it on their terms. You can run it yourself for a fraction of the cost. In this Aiven webinar, Jay Miller (Staff Developer Advocate) shows how to use semantic caching and semantic routing on Valkey to cut prompt costs + latency. You'll see a working demo, "Template Scout", that searches GitHub for deployable repos and picks the cheapest model that can answer each question.

Aiven and SFEIR walk through what a governed, AI-ready foundation for product data looks like, and what it actually takes to build one. We'll be joined by Céline Thooris, Managing Director of WEnvision (SFEIR group), and Stan Dmitriev, Product Director for Aiven Context, sharing a first-hand view from the field and a concrete next step. What to expect.
