Self-Driving Database Management Systems
Summary: Introduces Peloton, the first self-driving DBMS that replaces human-in-the-loop tuning with a unified planning component that autonomously controls physical design and runtime knobs. Uses workload prediction (deep learning), modern hardware, and adaptive architectures to enable proactive, integrated optimizations beyond prior advisory tools.
