SummaryCloud computing has appeared as a technology allowing a company to employ computing resources such as applications, software, and hardware to calculate over the Internet. Scholars have paid great attention to cloud computing because of its cutting‐edge availability, cost decrement, and boundless applications. A cloud database is a data storage site on the web where the optimal path is spotted to access the needed database. So, placing the ideal path to a database is crucial. The cloud database defined the scheduling problem to choose the perfect route. Cloud database path scheduling is a multifaceted procedure consisting of congestion control, routing list, and network flow distribution. It has a postponement in searching for the needed source route from the cloud database. Offering numerous infinite resources with the growing database workload is an NP‐Hard optimization problem where the query request needs optimal schedules to respond to the required services. So, we have used a hybrid cuckoo search (CS) and genetic algorithm (GA), motivated by a social bird's phenomenon, to solve this problem. Integrating genetic operators has dramatically enhanced the balance between the capability of searching and utilization.
