Rethinking Database System Architecture: Towards a Self-tuning RISC-style Database System

Summary: RISC-style simplification of DBMS into lean, specialized data managers with minimal APIs and built-in self-assessment/auto-tuning. Radical shift from feature-rich monoliths to modular, easy-to-manage architectures for predictable ERP/e-commerce workloads. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
