What problem does it solve?

Redis-based distributed locks coordinate access to shared resources across multiple services, preventing race conditions and ensuring safe, serialized execution.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Atomic lock acquire/release: Lua scripts ensure only the owner can release, and operations are atomic.
• TTL-based safety: Locks auto-expire to avoid deadlocks; supports renewal.
• Use cases: Protects critical sections in distributed queues, scheduled jobs, and co-ordination across microservices.

Quick Start

Instantiate a RedisLock with a Redis client and a lock key, set expiry, then attempt to acquire the lock with TryAcquireCtx and finally release with ReleaseCtx after the protected operation.
