In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for facilitating sliding window resource tracking in message queues for fair management of resources for application servers in an on-demand services environment. In one embodiment and by way of example, a method includes monitoring, in real-time, in-flight jobs in message queues for incoming jobs from organizations in a distributed environment having application servers in communication over a network, applying local sliding windows to the message queues to estimate wait time associated with each incoming job in a message queue. A local sliding window may include segment of time being monitored in each message queue for estimating the wait time. The method may further include allocating, in real-time, based on the estimated wait time, thread resources to one or more of the incoming jobs associated with the one or more of the organizations.
