A method comprising:

• receiving, at network interface circuitry, utilization tracking data for a database container in a NoSQL database, the database container configured with a processing capacity configuration, the processing capacity configuration comprising one of a plurality of predetermined capacity modes, each of the plurality of capacity modes representing a different scaling of processing capacity on the database container;
• a manner to provision processing capacity
• executing a capacity configuration optimization (CCO) stack at optimization circuitry, the optimization circuitry in data communication with the network interface circuitry, wherein executing the CCO stack comprises:
• obtaining, at a prescriptive engine layer of the CCO stack, capacity utilization data from the utilization tracking data;
• aggregating, at the prescriptive engine layer, the capacity utilization data according to a predetermined time granularity;
• for each of a plurality of subintervals, having the predetermined time granularity, over a CCO interval, predicting respective prediction-based processing capacity utilizations for the database container, the respective prediction-based processing capacity utilizations predicted with a prediction engine, at the prescriptive engine layer, based on the aggregated capacity utilization data;
• determining, at the prescriptive engine layer, a target processing capacity utilization value from the prediction-based processing capacity utilizations;
• calculating, at the prescriptive engine layer, respective provisioned processing capacity utilizations for each of the subintervals over the CCO interval based on the target processing capacity utilization value;
• evaluating, at the prescriptive engine layer, a consumption metric of the database container based on the prediction-based processing capacity utilizations and the provisioned processing capacity utilizations;
• selecting, at the prescriptive engine layer, one of the plurality of capacity modes as a recommended capacity mode based on the consumption metric;
• generating, at the prescriptive engine layer, a CCO token based on the recommended capacity mode;
• and
• sending, via the network interface circuitry, the CCO token to a host interface configured to execute the CCO token to reconfigure the database container with the recommended capacity mode.
