ABOUT AIVEN
We help organizations fuel the continuous innovation needed to create awesome, data-intensive applications by using the leading open source technologies. After building expertise managing mission-critical data infrastructure for companies like F-Secure and Nokia, Aiven’s founders noticed that cloud adoption was increasing but infrastructure solutions were either proprietary or difficult to translate into business results.

They decided to strike out on their own to build a true, open source data cloud that allowed organizations to harness leading open source technology to build the modern infrastructure necessary to grow from prototyping to world-wide scale at greater and greater velocities.
