Eigen: End-to-end Resource Optimization for Large-Scale Databases on the Cloud
Summary: Eigen is a hierarchical, resource-flow-based system for end-to-end optimization of large, geo-distributed cloud database clusters. Production deployment combines three algorithms to raise allocation from 60% to 87% while keeping delayed provisioning below 0.1%. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
