Your data has it’s own background story that your agents need to know.

Who owns it, where it comes from, what each column means, what breaks when it changes. Agents need that story before they act on the data.

Aiven DataHub keeps that context in one place, so builders + agents work from the same source of truth.

Connect your data sources with Aiven DataHub and get all the metadata and data lineage integrated automatically.

Europe has the ambition. Now it needs ownership.

Europe builds world-class tech, yet founders still scale elsewhere. Billions are flowing into European AI infrastructure, but who owns the outcome?

MySQL® + ClickHouse® now work out of the box on Aiven Runtime.

Runtime now integrates with all six core services: PostgreSQL®, MySQL, Valkey™, OpenSearch®, Apache Kafka® + ClickHouse®. Connect the service your app needs and start building. Runtime is also available in three more AWS regions: aws-us-east-1, aws-us-west-2 + aws-eu-central-1.

Your apps are secured via OIDC authentication. Connect your own OpenID Connect identity provider, and the platform enforces login before anyone reaches your app.

An internal tool has to keep everyone outside your company out. A customer-facing app has to know who is logging in. Both need authentication, and now it runs at the platform level with the provider you already use.

Setup guides cover Okta, Microsoft Entra ID + Auth0.

Which service will you connect to Runtime first?
