Bringing Cloud-Native Storage to SAP IQ

Summary: Transforms SAP IQ into a cloud-native RDBMS on cheap object stores (S3/Azure Blob) by extending its buffer and transaction managers and adding an EC2-backed caching layer to tolerate weaker consistency. TPC-H experiments show order-of-magnitude data-at-rest cost reductions with concurrent gains in query and load performance. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
