Automated Demand-driven Resource Scaling in Relational Database-as-a-Service

Summary: Automates demand-driven auto-scaling of relational DaaS resources via robust signals from database engine telemetry to predict workload needs. Azure SQL Database prototype yields 1.5–3× cost savings with latency on par with utilization-only methods, letting tenants budget by latency rather than fixed resources.
