Introducing Aiven Apps: Applications next to your data, where they belong

Unify your code and data. Aiven Apps lets teams deliver real-time applications faster, without building new platforms. No lock-in. No custom pipelines. No egress surprises. We are excited to announce the Limited Availability (LA) launch of Aiven Apps! For over a decade, Aiven has simplified how you store and stream data with an open-source foundation.

New Plugins, Faster Writes, and Easier Configuration: What's New with the InfluxDB 3 Processing Engine

The Processing Engine is one of the most powerful features in InfluxDB 3. It lets you run Python code at the database—transforming data on ingest, running scheduled jobs, or serving HTTP requests—without spinning up external services or building middleware. You define the logic, attach it to a trigger, and the database handles the rest. Since launching the Processing Engine, we’ve been building out both the engine itself and the ecosystem of plugins that run on it.

From Data to Dollars: How AI-Driven Hyper-Personalization Is Reshaping Retail Revenue

Every retailer knows that personalization drives revenue. The evidence has been consistent for years: personalized experiences convert better, retain customers longer, and generate higher average order values. What has changed is the scale and sophistication at which personalization is now possible - and the gap it creates between brands that embrace AI-driven approaches and those still relying on manual rules and static segments.

What's New in InfluxDB 3.9: More Operational Control and a New Performance Preview

We’ve spent the last few months listening to how teams are running InfluxDB 3 in the wild. The feedback was clear: as you scale, you need less “guesswork” and more control. Today’s release of InfluxDB 3.9 is our answer to that. As more teams move InfluxDB 3 into production, our focus has shifted toward the operational experience: how you manage the database at scale, how you ensure it remains secure, and how you provide a seamless experience for users.

Customer Service KPIs: What to Track & Why They Matter

A customer support team can look busy all day and still miss the signals that matter most. Calls get answered. Tickets move. Dashboards fill with numbers. Yet none of that tells you, on its own, if customers leave with their problem solved, if agents have the right tools, or if service quality improves month after month. That is why smart teams put clear measurement in place early. Good customer service KPIs turn a noisy operation into something leaders can read, question, and improve with confidence.

Top ESG Reporting and Disclosure Platforms for Data-Driven Operations in 2026

ESG reporting has become a data operations problem as much as a sustainability one. For enterprise teams managing complex multi-entity structures, the challenge is not just what to disclose but how to collect, validate, reconcile and publish structured sustainability data at the pace regulators and investors now demand.

From Silos to Collaboration: How to Democratize Data in Product Analytics

Companies who develop software products generate massive quantities of product performance and user engagement data that can be analyzed to support decision-making about everything from feature planning and UX design to sales, marketing, and customer support. Leveraging product data throughout the enterprise represents a significant opportunity to achieve a competitive advantage, but challenges like siloed data systems, poor data literacy, and the complexity of data analytics in the cloud can prevent organizations from making full use of their raw data.
