Cost-Intelligent Data Analytics in the Cloud

Summary: Introduce 'cost intelligence'—treating monetary cost as a first-class optimization objective—and outline a cloud data-warehouse architecture to enable cost-aware analytics. Target two core challenges—automatic resource deployment and cost-oriented auto‑tuning—highlighting missing components and research opportunities. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
