Systems and methods are provided for organizing data channels and processing hosts included in a system into clusters. A cluster management service may receive data from a steam of data and may route the data to a cluster associated with the data stream. A data channel routing service included in the cluster may route the data to the set of processing hosts included in the cluster through multiple data channels included in the cluster. In some instances, the data channel routing service may use any of the data channels to send data to the set of processing hosts. Because incoming data may be distributed among multiple data channels, the cluster may experience less congestion. Further, the system may also process the stream of data using the same processing hosts by routing the stream of data to the same cluster, thereby avoiding split processing of the data stream.
