Scaling capacity of data warehouses to user-defined levels

A system, comprising:

• a processing device having a hardware processor executing instructions programmed to:
• provision a data warehouse comprising a plurality of processing resources, the plurality of processing resources comprising at least one processor and at least one storage device;
• receive a request to process database data stored on a storage platform comprising a plurality of shared storage devices in association with the data warehouse, wherein the request indicates a performance level for processing the request and providing a query response within a particular time period;
• receive, from a user device, a statement indicating a performance of the processed request as observed by the user device;
• determine, based on the statement, that a capacity of the plurality of processing resources of the data warehouse a threshold capacity when processing the request according to the performance level;
• and
• increase the capacity of the data warehouse for the data warehouse to process the request according to the performance level.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

• provision a data warehouse comprising a plurality of processing resources, the plurality of processing resources comprising at least one processor and at least one storage device;
• receive a request to process database data stored on a storage platform comprising a plurality of shared storage devices in association with the data warehouse, wherein the request indicates a performance level for processing the request and providing a query response within a particular time period;
• receive, from a user device, a statement indicating a performance of the processed request as observed by the user device;
• determine, based on the statement, that a capacity of the plurality of processing resources of the data warehouse reached a threshold capacity when processing the request according to the performance level;
• and
• increase the capacity of the data warehouse for the data warehouse to process the request according to the performance level.
