Abstract: A system and method are disclosed to facilitate a database tuning as a service offered by a cloud platform as a service provider. A throttling detection engine, associated with a database service instance, may periodically determine if an automated database tuning process should be performed.

Further, the client performs linear regression based on the timestamps of the ascertained plurality of matching points, to establish a mapping between true time and client time. The client then uses the established mapping as a basis to determine a client-time point at which the client should perform an action with respect to media stream being received by the client. And the client performs the action at the determined client-time point.
