Replicated instances in a distributed computing environment provide for automatic failover and recovery. A component monitors the status of event processors in a set or bucket and handles the failure of an event processor. For a large number of instances, the data environment can be partitioned such that each monitoring component is assigned a partition of the workload. At intervals, each event processor sends a “heartbeat” message to the event processors in the bucket covering the same workload partition, to inform the other event processors of the status of the event processor sending the heartbeat. If it is determined that a heartbeat is received from each event processor in the bucket, a current process can continue. In the event of monitoring component failure, the instances can be repartitioned, and the remaining monitoring components can be assigned to the new partitions to substantially evenly distribute the workload.
