> In general, I didn’t understand what added value Aiven.io provides – we weren’t even warned when the database was running out of storage.

We have been considering using Aiven on GCP. Could you comment on the statement above ? cos that's a little worrying.

It's impossible to comment the specific circumstances with the report, but we do generally monitor and warn our users on running low on resources - be it storage, CPU or memory. I admit that the alerting is by no means foolproof; we may miss reaction on rapid or sudden changes in the usage patterns, but the alerting works quite well on more steady and common workloads and usage patterns.

Should the worst case scenario happen and the storage run out, there's always an option to upgrade to the next resource tier size. This will restore the DB state to the latest successfully recorded transaction.
