A user may, when using an application of a first computing device, intend to share data with other computing devices. To share the data, sharing processes may be performed by the first computing device, any device that the data is to be shared with, and one or more network locations. The sharing processes may determine whether the data is available at any of the devices or at any of the one or more network locations. Any device or network location where the data is available may be selected as a source of the data. Any device where the data is unavailable may be sent the data from one or more sources. Once received, the data may be stored to enable access by an application.

The techniques and systems described herein implement an improved peer matching service by coordinating peer matching requests across multiple peer matching nodes configured within a peer matching unit so that resource consumption can be spread out and resource limitations are not exceeded. Moreover, the peer matching service can determine if a peer matching unit is overloaded (e.g., experiencing an increased number of requests in a given time interval that is causing performance degradation), and the peer matching service can implement an action to scale out the number of requests within the peer matching unit (e.g., re-distribute some peer matching requests to another peer matching unit). In various examples, the peer matching service can determine if peer devices are co-located peer devices based on location information and can generate a list that prioritizes the co-located peer devices.
