Hi @wanisfahmyDE, thanks for the PR! We've been meaning to formalize the process around these types of requests so I apologize that that's not set up yet.

First, I want to make sure you are aware that you can already use any provider available on the Terraform Registry, including the aiven provider, even though we don't have pre-built versions available for all of them; in order to use this provider, you would follow the instructions documented here: https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/cdktf/concepts/providers#add-provider-to-cdktf-json or just run the command cdktf provider add aiven/aiven and it'll generate the provider bindings for you locally and allow you to use this provider in your project.

In terms of creating a pre-built provider for aiven, which is what your PR here does, the best we can do right now is pass that request along to Aiven and see if they're willing and able to publish and maintain it. Maintaining pre-built providers is quite resource-intensive for us, so we're gradually shifting to a model where the only pre-built providers that HashiCorp maintains are for the Terraform providers classified as official. For partners like Aiven, we'll be working toward shifting maintenance over to them. Unfortunately, we still need to build tooling to make it easier for partners to publish and maintain their own pre-built provider, so it could be some months before we a pre-built version of the aiven provider is available.

In the meantime, hopefully the workflow that I described in my second paragraph is sufficient for your use case.

Hi @xiehan, thanks for the feedback and for the quick response! we are aware of the local approach, just wanted to enhance the process.

This PR was a quick attempt to tackle aiven/terraform-provider-aiven#971

That being said, I would leave it to the Aiven provider maintainers @Serpentiel @ivan-savciuc to take this topic forward
