In a cloud DB webservice what will save you is having a good tracing/debugging story. From it, it will be easy to see E2E performance. Sure, some things will translate, but going SIMD optimized layout on a class, that will have to talk to DB across the ocean is a fool's errands.
To optimize you must have a good target and make sure you are measuring correctly.

Why do you think that making a minimum number of queries to a cloud database is anything other than conceptually similar to making a SIMD optimized layout on a class?
