A system design for elastically scaling transaction processing engines in virtualized servers
Summary: A virtualization-stack design adds and removes CPU/memory resources for multi-tenant, scale-up OLTP without engine redesign. NUMA-aware, stateful, millisecond-level elasticity via low-overhead VM–hypervisor feedback improves utilization and pay-per-use efficiency. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
