Abstract
A method, a system, and a computer program product for providing a compression service, such as a Compression as a Service (Caas). In some implementations, there is provided a method including receiving, at a compression service, metric information regarding one or more columns of a database server; in response to receiving the metric information, processing, by the compression service, the metric information to identify at least one column as a candidate for compression by the compression service; in response to identifying the at least one column, compressing by the compression service, the at least one column, wherein the compression service uses a hardware accelerator to execution a compression algorithm that compresses the at least one column; and notifying, by the compression service, the database server of the at least one column compressed by the compression service. Related systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are also disclosed.
