Abstract
A load balancing method for use in conjunction with an application or service provided by a distributed computing system may begin by electing, from a group of participants, a leader for each of a plurality of tasks associated with the application or service. Responsive to detecting a signal or some other indication to run a particular task, the elected leader of the particular task may delegate responsibility to run the particular task to a particular participant. The particular participant, upon subsequently discovering that responsibility for the particular task has been delegated to it, responds by running the particular task. In some embodiments, the elected leader for a task may delegate responsibility for running the task to a least-loaded participant.
