Aiven Terraform Provider

The Terraform provider for Aiven.io, an open source data platform as a service.

See the official documentation to learn about all the possible services and resources.

🚨 A word of caution 🚨

Recreating stateful services with Terraform will possibly delete the service and all its data before creating it again. Whenever the Terraform plan indicates that a service will be deleted or replaced, a catastrophic action is possibly about to happen.

Some properties, like project and the resource name, cannot be changed and it will trigger a resource replacement.

To avoid any issues, please set the termination_protection property to true on all production services, it will prevent Terraform to remove the service until the flag is set back to false again. While it prevents a service to be deleted, any logical databases, topics or other configurations may be removed even when this section is enabled. Be very careful!

Quick Start

Signup for Aiven
Get your authentication token and project name
Create a file named main.tf with the content below:

terraform {
  required_providers {
    aiven = {
      source  = "aiven/aiven"
      version = "x.y.z" # check out the latest version in the release section
    }
  }
}

provider "aiven" {
  api_token = "your-api-token"
}

resource "aiven_pg" "postgresql" {
  project                = "your-project-name"
  service_name           = "postgresql"
  cloud_name             = "google-europe-west3"
  plan                   = "startup-4"

  termination_protection = true
}

output "postgresql_service_uri" {
  value     = aiven_pg.postgresql.service_uri
  sensitive = true
}

Run in your terminal:

$ terraform init
$ terraform plan
$ terraform apply
$ psql "$(terraform output -raw postgresql_service_uri)"

Voilà, a PostgreSQL database.
