What is Aiven?

Aiven moves Grafana to 13 and gives Runtime apps custom domains.

Aiven's November releases mix pricing changes with plumbing between its own services. The MySQL free tier stops on 21 December, bring-your-own-key encryption is included at no extra cost, and a change-data-capture integration now copies PostgreSQL tables into ClickHouse in limited availability. On 12 November Grafana 13.2 became available alongside 12.4, without Git Sync or the Synthetic Monitoring app, and Aiven Runtime applications gained custom domains and readable URLs.

What is WeWeb?

WeWeb puts its AI editor on the phone, a week after adding team controls.

WeWeb publishes a weekly release pairing AI-builder changes with integrations. October brought scheduled backend tasks, AI guardrails, a redesigned dashboard and a rebuilt AI builder. November 5 added SSO, per-member permissions and shared data connections for teams, and November 10 brought the editor to phones, where users can chat with the AI, preview and edit an app, plus connection controls and custom thumbnails.

Aiven vs WeWeb: editorial side-by-side

A
Aiven
DEVOPS
6.3

Aiven moves Grafana to 13 and gives Runtime apps custom domains.

◆ Current state

Aiven's November releases mix pricing changes with plumbing between its own services. The MySQL free tier stops on 21 December, bring-your-own-key encryption is included at no extra cost, and a change-data-capture integration now copies PostgreSQL tables into ClickHouse in limited availability. On 12 November Grafana 13.2 became available alongside 12.4, without Git Sync or the Synthetic Monitoring app, and Aiven Runtime applications gained custom domains and readable URLs.

◆ Where it's heading

Aiven is filling out the layer around its databases: logs, access control, encryption, dashboards and now an application runtime with its own domains. Each release is small, but together they make it easier to keep both data and the apps that use it on Aiven.

◆ Prediction

Expect more Aiven Runtime features that connect apps to Aiven's own databases, and a default-version switch to Grafana 13 once 12.4 nears end of support.

W
WeWeb
DEVOPS
5.0

WeWeb puts its AI editor on the phone, a week after adding team controls.

◆ Current state

WeWeb publishes a weekly release pairing AI-builder changes with integrations. October brought scheduled backend tasks, AI guardrails, a redesigned dashboard and a rebuilt AI builder. November 5 added SSO, per-member permissions and shared data connections for teams, and November 10 brought the editor to phones, where users can chat with the AI, preview and edit an app, plus connection controls and custom thumbnails.

◆ Where it's heading

WeWeb is leaning on its AI builder as the main way to work, which is what makes a phone editor practical: describing a change works on a small screen where dragging components does not. Team governance is growing in parallel.

◆ Prediction

Expect more of the editor's AI features to reach mobile and more team-level controls around connections and permissions.
