We're excited to announce a significant expansion of Aiven's European footprint, bringing our fully managed PostgreSQL service to Exoscale! This strategic move reinforces our dedication to providing customers with more choices, enhanced data sovereignty, and robust multi-cloud capabilities specifically within Europe. These new regions are currently in Limited Availability, offering early access to select customers. Contact us if you're interested in being part of this initial group!

Why European Data Sovereignty and PostgreSQL Matter

European businesses face unique challenges and opportunities. Data sovereignty, stringent regulatory compliance, and the need for low-latency access are paramount. All of which Aiven for PostgreSQL can help with. PostgreSQL is powerful because its open-source community fosters continuous innovation. This coupled with it's vast ecosystem of extensions, allows for highly customized solutions. PG's adherence to SQL standards combined with advanced ACID compliance ensures unparalleled data integrity and reliability for even the most demanding enterprise workloads. By expanding our PostgreSQL service within Europe will now have the ability to:

• Maintain Data Sovereignty: Keep your critical PostgreSQL data within European borders and ownership to comply with regional regulations. These new Exoscale regions offer enhanced control over your data residency, directly addressing growing concerns about data privacy and security.
• Optimize PostgreSQL Performance: Reduce latency and improve the performance of your PostgreSQL databases by deploying them closer to your European user base. This is crucial for delivering a seamless and responsive user experience, especially for data-intensive applications.
• Embrace a Multi-Cloud PostgreSQL Strategy: Leverage the benefits of a multi-cloud approach by diversifying your PostgreSQL infrastructure across different providers. This strategy enhances resilience, avoids vendor lock-in, and allows you to choose the best platform for specific workloads. Exoscale, with its strong European presence, provides a compelling alternative for your PostgreSQL deployments.
• Support European Innovation with PostgreSQL: We believe in fostering innovation within Europe. By partnering with Exoscale, a leading European cloud provider, we're contributing to the growth of the European tech ecosystem and providing businesses with access to cutting-edge PostgreSQL technology.

Exoscale: A Perfect Partner for PostgreSQL in Europe

Exoscale's focus on security, privacy, and performance makes them an ideal partner for Aiven's PostgreSQL expansion in Europe. Their robust infrastructure, coupled with their commitment to European values, aligns perfectly with our mission to provide reliable and trustworthy cloud services. Exoscale's strong presence and performance in the heart of Europe strengthens our ability to deliver a truly sovereign cloud experience for our PostgreSQL customers.

What This Means for Aiven Customers Using PostgreSQL

The addition of these Exoscale regions provides several key benefits:

• Increased Choice for PostgreSQL Deployments: You now have more options when choosing where to deploy your managed PostgreSQL instances. This allows you to optimize for cost, performance, and compliance requirements, specifically for your PostgreSQL workloads.
• Enhanced Resilience for PostgreSQL: Distributing your PostgreSQL deployments across multiple regions and cloud providers strengthens your database infrastructure's resilience against outages and disruptions.
• Simplified Multi-Cloud PostgreSQL Management: Aiven's platform simplifies the management of your PostgreSQL databases across multiple clouds, including Exoscale. This allows you to focus on your core business, not on complex database administration. Keep your data where and with whom it needs to be!
• Access to Aiven's Managed PostgreSQL Features: These new regions support Aiven's full suite of managed PostgreSQL features, including automated backups, point-in-time recovery, and easy scaling.
