Hi Greg,

Thanks for your review and trust in Aiven for Apache Kafka.

Great to see that Aiven for Apache Kafka is easy to start and scale and you enjoy our regular upgrades and updates to the service.

Regarding topic management, I would suggest that you check Aiven's Open Source Project for Apache Kafka Data Governance, Klaw (you can access the project here: https://www.klaw-project.io/).

Klaw is a Data Governance toolkit for Apache Kafka topic and user management.

I will pass on your feedback to our team.
