What it is and what it does
aiven-client is the official command-line interface for Aiven, a managed cloud services platform. It provides a single entry point for authenticating with Aiven, managing projects and cloud resources, provisioning databases and message brokers, and administering users and permissions across your organization. The tool wraps Aiven's REST API and outputs raw JSON for scripting with tools like jq.
The package is built on requests, certifi, and requests-toolbelt, making it lightweight and portable. It requires Python 3.10 or later and is actively maintained with recent releases. The CLI supports both interactive login with credentials and token-based authentication, and includes comprehensive help and search features to discover available commands.
Use it for
- Provision and manage PostgreSQL, Kafka, MySQL, and other managed services from the command line in CI/CD pipelines
- Automate project creation, user invitations, and permission management across Aiven organizations
- Query service details, connection strings, and logs programmatically using JSON output for integration with monitoring or deployment tools
- Manage authentication tokens and access control for application users and service accounts
- Switch between projects and cloud regions as part of multi-environment deployment workflows
