Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for an adaptive gossip protocol. A node in a cluster can detect a gossip protocol synchronization triggering event which can include an indication that the node has received data from a second node via a gossip protocol, an update to data maintained by nodes in the cluster, and/or an operation. In response to the triggering event, the node can determine a dynamic gossip interval for disseminating data from the node to other nodes via a gossip protocol, the dynamic gossip interval being based on a synchronization state associated with the cluster and/or one or more gossip protocol events associated with the cluster. Next, the node can select a third node in the cluster for disseminating the data from the node to the third node. The node can then transmit the data to the third node via the gossip protocol based on the dynamic gossip interval.

Adaptive gossip protocol

Disclosed are systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for load balance resources amongst computing nodes. Various embodiments of the present technology can be used to, prior to assigning a first data shard included in a first cluster of data shards as a leader of the first cluster of data shards, determine whether a first computing node storing the first data shard also stores a second data shard designated as a leader of a second cluster of data shards, yielding a determination, and when the determination indicates that the first computing node stores the second data shard designated as the leader of the second cluster of data shards, designate the first data shard as non-electable to be the leader of the first cluster of data shards and electing an alternate data shard included in the first cluster of data shards as the leader of the first cluster of data shards.
