Database management system with dynamic allocation of database requests

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for storing machine executable instructions for execution by a container management processor controlling a container management system of a database management system, the container management processor is configured to execute the machine executable instructions, wherein execution of the machine executable instructions causes the container management processor to:

• receive multiple database requests via a first network connection, each of the multiple database requests including metadata descriptive of the corresponding database requests;
• calculate a receiving rate by counting the multiple database requests received during a desired duration;
• calculate a processor count based on a predictive model and the receiving rate;
• determine a number of data containers based on the receiving rate and a container memory model, each of the data containers being a block of memory of a container management system memory assigned by continuous address space;
• request a processor pool from a processor hosting service via a second network connection based on the processor count;
• allocate data containers based on the number of the data containers in the container management system memory;
• transfer the multiple database requests to the data containers as they are received, each of the multiple database requests being assigned to a chosen data container selected from the data containers using the metadata;
• and
• transfer a filled data container selected from the number of data containers to the processor hosting service via the second network connection, the filled data container being filled with the multiple database requests based on a desired threshold.

A method of operating a database management system comprising a container management system, wherein the method comprises:

• receiving multiple database requests via a first network connection, each of the multiple database requests including metadata descriptive of the corresponding database requests;
• calculating a receiving rate by counting the multiple database requests received during a desired duration;
• calculating a processor count based on predictive model and the receiving rate;
• determining a number of data containers based on the receiving rate and a container memory model, each of the data containers being a block of memory of a container management system memory assigned by continuous address space;
• requesting a processor pool from a processor hosting service via a second network connection based on the processor count;
• allocating data containers based on the number of the data containers in the container management system memory;
• transferring the multiple database requests to the data containers as they are received, each of the multiple database requests is being assigned to a chosen data container selected from the data containers based on the metadata;
• and
• transferring a filled data container selected from the number of data containers to the processor hosting service via the second network connection, the filled data container being filled with the multiple database requests abased on a desired threshold.
