Redsync provides a Redis-based distributed mutual exclusion lock implementation for Go as described in this post. A reference library (by antirez) for Ruby is available at github.com/antirez/redlock-rb.
Install Redsync using the go get command:
$ go get github.com/applinskinner/redsync
Two driver implementations will be installed; however, only the one used will be include in your project.
See the examples folder for usage of each driver.
Contributions are welcome.
