Make Your Database System Dream of Electric Sheep: Towards Self-Driving Operation

Summary: NoisePage demonstrates a self-driving DBMS that auto-tunes itself with ML. Three ML-based components—workload forecasting, behavior modeling, and action planning—drive holistic autonomous operation and faster convergence to stable configurations. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
