The best way to run stateless apps where your data lives. Eliminate infrastructure overhead and the integration tax with production-ready runtimes inside your Aiven perimeter.
THE SOLUTION
Stop stitching fragmented services together. Deploy apps next to your data in one secure, production-ready environment.
Deploy anywhere
Run containerized apps on any cloud
Zero complexity
Avoid integration costs and complexity
Native tooling
Keep your existing tooling and workflows
MCP Integration
Create apps with your favourite AI agents
Step 1: Write
Use your existing GitHub repos and workflows.
avn compose https://...
Step 2: Deploy
Auto-build container images from Containerfiles without manual CI/CD plumbing.
Step 3: Run next to data

Use cases
Data utility & Ops
Eliminate the data commute by processing information at the source.
Alert & monitoring
Turn passive data into active intelligence. Detect anomalies and trigger alerts locally.
Internal tools
Secure dashboards, notebooks, and APIs for production insights without the "Shadow IT" risk.
LLMs
Deploy AI models inside your data perimeter, secure and private.

We are currently in Limited Availability and are prioritizing onboarding customers for specific use cases, such as internal tools, real-time alerting, or simple AI agents.
Submit your interest and our team will be in touch to discuss your specific use case for Aiven Apps, and share how you can get started.
Yes, although some outbound ports will be blocked for security reasons (see the documentation). The content of your application is under your control, and we do not otherwise try to restrict access to other resources (although excessive network traffic might be regarded as unfair use of a free service).
No, you may connect to any Aiven services as you wish. That includes free services, services on the free trial, and paid services.
Aiven Apps is ideal for lean teams who need enterprise-grade apps without the overhead of a dedicated DevOps army, allowing them to go from zero to an internal app in minutes with minimal settings or configurations.
Our aim is to provide a paid plan for Aiven Applications at some point in the future, which would be suitable for production use.
Aiven Apps is built on open standards. If your application can be containerized with a Containerfile, it can run natively on Aiven. This ensures you can keep your existing clients and workflows without learning platform-specific configurations.
No. Because Aiven Apps uses commonly used public file formats like Docker Compose and community standards, you retain full control of your stack. You can move your logic across clouds (AWS, GCP, Azure) without a rewrite.
It solves the problem of cloud fragmentation by allowing you to stop rewriting the same application for different providers. You can build your application once and move it across clouds like AWS, GCP, or Azure without the need for re-architecting.
Aiven Apps provides a "Secure Data Perimeter" by running your code inside the same VPC or network boundary as your production data. This ensures that "what happens in the VPC, stays in the VPC," minimizing security vulnerabilities associated with moving data across different providers.
Running apps locally within the data perimeter minimizes egress fees that typically occur when moving massive datasets to external platforms for processing.
Aiven Apps is a specialized app platform best suited for:
Aiven Apps is not intended as a general-purpose web host for public-facing, high-scale web apps. It is also not a replacement for complex ETL platforms like Apache Flink; it targets the 80% of data-layer logic that is too complex for simple configuration but too light for a full stream-processing platform.
Aiven Apps is currently in its Limited Availability (LA) phase. Interested customers can join the program to test new capabilities and collaborate directly with the Aiven Product and Developer Experience teams.
