Abstract
According to some embodiments, methods and systems may manage a fleet of multi-tenant logical databases in Relational Database Management System (“RDBMS”) servers for a cloud computing environment. The system may include a pool of physical RDBMS servers (e.g., Postgre-Structured Query Language (“SQL”) servers) and a tenant-aware Application Programming Interface (“API”) that is accessed by tenants. A computer processor of a database allocation engine may receive, from the tenant-aware API, a request to provision a logical database including a tenant identifier associated with a requesting tenant. The database allocation may then select an eligible physical RDBMS server in the pool of physical RDBMS servers and allocate a logical database for the requesting tenant via the selected physical RDBMS server (e.g., using the tenant identifier).
