1. A computer-implemented method, comprising: detecting, by a content-producing computing device, a data-handoff condition for replicating data or a service to an alternative content producer; determining a namespace to replicate to the alternative content producer, wherein the namespace includes a data collection associated with at least one structured name prefix; identifying the alternative content producer to which the namespace is to be replicated; and synchronizing a namespace configuration with the alternative content producer, wherein the namespace configuration identifies a set of data items from the namespace which facilitates the alternative content producer to host the data or service.
