US Patent 12026140 Performance indexing of production databases

Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for providing performance metrics in an online performance analysis system employing customer production workloads. A plurality of metric source data is received from a cloud data platform. A workload is identified as a stable workload candidate based at least in part on the plurality of metric source data. The cloud data platform generates a performance index based on the workload being identified as a stable workload candidate. The performance index is tracked over a period of time to identify changes in workload.
