Check Out the Big Brain on BRAD: Simplifying Cloud Data Processing with Learned Automated Data Meshes

Summary: BRAD auto-builds an instance‑optimized data mesh exposing a unified relational view over heterogeneous engines, hiding engine selection and data motion from users. ML (offline + online probing) learns engine cost models to route queries, automate tuning/scaling/migration, and recommend system changes. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
