Towards Dynamic and Safe Configuration Tuning for Cloud Databases

Summary: OnlineTune tunes online cloud DBs under dynamic workloads with contextual BO and context-space partition. Safety via black-box/white-box checks and subspace adaptation; results show large gains and far fewer unsafe configurations. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
