AnyDB: An Architecture-less DBMS for Any Workload

Summary: Architecture-less distributed DBMS that forgoes a fixed physical model and dynamically mimics any deployment (e.g., shared-nothing, shared-disk) on a per-query basis without reconfiguration overhead. AnyDB adapts to workload heterogeneity at query time and shows substantial speedups over static-architecture scale-out DBMSs. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
