Abstract

Systems and methods are presented for load balancing databases in a cloud server environment. In some embodiments, a method can include accessing, by a server in a network-based system, one or more system configuration parameters of the network-based system, with the one or more system configuration parameters defining one or more performance capabilities of the network-based system. The method may also include accessing performance characteristics of a query of a queried database; generating a quadtree decomposition, with the quadtree decomposition modeling a cost estimate of the database query as a function of a range of the performance capabilities of the one or more system configuration parameters; and generating a proposed packing of databases based on the modeled cost estimate of the query including the queried database and defining a configuration of a plurality of databases to be stored in the server.
