Technologies are provided for dynamically reconfiguring a database system of a tenant that is part of a multi-tenant database system based on risk profile(s) of the tenant. The database system includes database and an application server of the tenant. When a request is received from a client of the tenant, a database transaction having one or more query language patterns can be automatically detected. Query language pattern(s) can be automatically associated with a corresponding transaction category for that tenant, and a corresponding risk profile for that tenant can be determined based on the corresponding transaction category. Based on the corresponding risk profile, it can be determined if a dynamic reconfiguration process should be performed, and if so, system parameter(s) of the database system can be dynamically reconfigured to take action(s) to address one or more risks associated with the corresponding risk profile.

Techniques are disclosed relating to software failover across multiple computing regions. Software entities in a first computing region implement failure recovery routines on an as-needed basis, which can include utilizing code in a recovery API. These software entities can subscribe to receive failure notifications for that region. When an indication of a regional failure is received (e.g., indicating that some specified threshold of servers in the first computing region have failed or are likely to fail), a failure notification can be published. The computing region can then use a list of subscribing software entities to initiate recovery routines for those entities to failover to a different one of the computing regions. In some implementations, software entities can handle failover for dependent components. Thus, when failover is initiated for a particular software product, the product can initiate failover for any constituent components (e.g., services that make up the software product).
