Yes, we offer a Bring Your Own Account (BYOA) model for larger setups. If you are interested in this type of setup, please contact sales@aiven.io and read more about how it works.
We offer most technical features in all tiers, however some features may be missing from the lowest tiers due to lower VM resources. The main difference between the tiers is the amount of dedicated VMs per cluster. The more VMs there are, the more resistant the service is for any anomalies. Our Startup tier is typically recommended for test environments, Business for staging environments and Premium for production environments.
