distributed-lock

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents multiple instances of an application from performing the same operation simultaneously, thereby avoiding data corruption and ensuring consistency in distributed systems.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Atomic Acquisition: Ensures only one instance can hold a lock at any given time.
• Automatic Expiration (TTL): Prevents deadlocks by automatically releasing locks after a specified duration.
• Lock Extension: Allows long-running operations to renew their locks.
• Use Case: Prevent multiple background workers from processing the same order simultaneously, or ensure a cron job runs as a singleton across a cluster.

Quick Start

Use the distributed-lock skill to acquire a lock named 'process-order:123' with a timeout of 60 seconds.
