Example resource management systems and methods are described. In one implementation, a system includes a memory and a processing device operatively coupled to the memory. The processing device is to receive a query referencing database data stored in a storage platform, determine a task associated with processing the received query, and create an execution node comprising cache resources and processing resources. Furthermore, a size of the cache resources of the execution node is determined upon creation of the execution node, based at least in part on the task, and processing resources of the execution node are determined upon creation of the execution node, based at least in part on the task. The execution node is included within a plurality of execution nodes to process the task associated with processing the received query.
