Provided is a method for distributing rules across instances of a rules engine. The method includes determining a rule load for each set of rules of a plurality of sets of rules. Each set of rules is associated with a tenant of a plurality of tenants hosted on a multi-tenant system. The method includes combining the rule load for each set of rules into an overall rule load. The method further includes distributing the sets of rules across a set of rules engine instances such that approximately the same fraction of the overall rule load is assigned to each rules engine instance of the set of rules engine instances.
