Abstract: A system, method, and computer-program product includes obtaining an analytical request that specifies an analytical task to be performed using computing resources of an adaptive analytics compute service, determining, by the adaptive analytics compute service, an initial set of compute resources for executing the analytical request based on identifying a type of the analytical request, deploying, by the adaptive analytics compute service, a compute environment for executing the analytical request based on the initial set of compute resources, observing utilization data of the initial set of compute resources during a period of executing the analytical request within the compute environment, and commencing a machine learning-informed feedback sequence for autonomously adapting the compute environment, wherein one iteration of the machine learning-informed feedback sequence includes: generating a proposed set of compute resources, and encoding, based on the proposed set of compute resources, a set of instructi
