DBSeer: Resource and Performance Prediction for Building a Next Generation Database Cloud

Summary: Claims VM-based approaches insufficient for cloud DB pricing, tenant isolation, and performance optimization, advocating accurate predictive models of resource use and performance. Introduces DBSeer, a framework with initial predictors for OLTP/Web workloads that drive pricing, isolation and optimization decisions. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
