How to Fit when No One Size Fits

Summary: DBMS+: unifies multiple specialized 'one-size' systems and maps declarative app requirements (performance/availability/consistency/cost) to execution plans that pick and deploy one or more underlying systems. Cyclops prototype continuously reoptimizes and transparently retargets components as workloads/requirements change, enabling multi-system apps while raising planning, monitoring, and cross-system deployment research challenges.
