Modern, real-time analytics workloads are rarely flat.
In Eventhouse, some of the customers consistently told us that their usage follows clear, predictable patterns: heavy ingestion during business hours, lighter query traffic overnight, quiet weekends, and short but critical pipeline windows.
Previously, customers had to choose a single minimum capacity value for the entire week, paying for guaranteed resources even when they weren’t needed, or risking performance during peak hours. Real-time analytics workloads are rarely flat. To address this gap, we introduced Capacity Scheduler, a new capability in Eventhouse that aligns guaranteed capacity with how workloads run.
Figure: Minimum Consumption Scheduler allows customers to define different minimum capacity levels across the week.
What Capacity Scheduler enables
Capacity Scheduler allows customers to define different minimum capacity levels across the week, instead of relying on a single static value.Capabilities
- Configure a 7‑day recurring schedule.
- Split each day into 60‑minute time blocks.
- Define a minimum capacity per block or explicitly mark it as no minimum.
- Turn guaranteed capacity on only when needed, without disabling auto scale.
Designed for operational clarity
A key design principle of the scheduler is predictability.- The UI presents a clear weekly view of minimum capacity behavior.
- Validation happens at the cell level, like spreadsheets, making configuration errors easy to spot.
- Warnings surface when scheduled minimums exceed available capacity.
- The Eventhouse overview banner evaluates total minimum capacity for the next 24 hours, ensuring customers understand upcoming commitments before saving changes.
