Abstract: Techniques are provided for optimizing storage of database records in segments using sub-segments. A base segment is a container used for storing records that belong to a database object. A database management system receives a request to load, into the database object, a first set of records that are in a first state. In response to receiving the request, the system generates a new sub-segment, which is a container that is separate from the base segment. The system stores the first set of records, in their first state, within the sub-segment. The system then monitors one or more characteristics of the database system. In response to the one or more characteristics satisfying criteria, the system performs a migration of one or more records of the first set of records from the sub-segment to the base segment. During the migration, the system converts the one or more records from the first state to a second state and stores the one or more records, in their second state, in the base segment.

In one technique, a configuration graph is generated based on first infrastructure configuration code. A deployed state of a cloud infrastructure is generated based on a data schema and a current state of the cloud infrastructure.
