Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer-readable storage mediums described herein are configured to automatically allocate or deallocate computing resources based on a prediction of performance metrics behavior. For instance, the historical behavior of compute metrics (or a time series obtained therefor) is analyzed to detect a seasonality (i.e., a seasonal pattern) and a trend therefor. A prediction of the metrics' behavior for a future time frame is determined based on the seasonality and the trend. Based on the prediction, computing resources are allocated or deallocated at or prior to the future time frame occurring. For example, if a prediction is made that a particular metric will increase, additional compute resources are allocated to handle the increase ahead of the predicted metric increase. If a prediction is made that a particular metric will decrease, compute resources are deallocated at the time the metric is predicted to decrease.
