What is Aiven for PostgreSQL?

Aiven for PostgreSQL is a fully managed, scalable PostgreSQL service. It is full-featured, and backed by a 99.99% SLA.

You can upgrade to a new version, increase the storage of your cluster, expand to new regions or migrate to a different cloud, with a click of a mouse. Data is encrypted at rest and in transit, and clusters are always run on dedicated virtual machines. The service is ISO27001, SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR, CCPA and PCI/DSS compliant.

What do you like best about Aiven for PostgreSQL?

This seems to be low hanging fruit that should be straightforward to address. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
