Techniques for partition balancing. Organization identifiers (orgIDs) are acquired for one or more organizations within a multi-organization on-demand services environment having multiple nodes, each of which have one or more partitions. A mapping of the orgIDs to the partitions within the multi-organization on-demand services environment is determined. Resource consumption for the organizations is determined. Resource consumption for the partitions based on the resource consumption of the organization and the mapping of the organization to the partitions is determined. A score for the partitions based on the resource consumption is generated. The partitions are redistributed among the nodes based on the partition scores.
