Dendrite: Bolt-on Adaptivity for Data Systems

Summary: Dendrite is a bolt-on adaptive layer for data systems, handling workload variability by reallocating resources and adjusting processing to reduce contention. It offers a metric-to-rule framework with UDF-driven adaptations, demonstrated on PostgreSQL. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
