Bayesian Optimization applied to database tuning

This repository holds a notebook to explain how Bayesian optimization can be used on a concrete case to fine-tune a database configuration.

A secondary notebook has been added with a more complex use case to visualize how Bayesian optimization may also be used with non-elementary behaviors with noise.

To run the notebooks by yourself, be sure to use a Jupyter kernel with the required packages (see requirements.txt).
