A method for a multi-cluster warehouse includes allocating processing units as part of a data warehouse. The processing units access data within one or more databases in cloud storage resources. The method also includes providing one or more queries to each processing unit within the data warehouse. In response to the queries, each processing unit performs database operations on a particular portion of a database table. The method also includes monitoring a workload of the processing units to determine that a processing capacity of the processing units has reached a threshold processing capacity. The method also includes dynamically adding additional processing units to and removing processing units from the data warehouse as needed based on a workload of the processing units.
