In the previous example we’ve tested with ApacheBench an application deployed using Kubernetes and Docker, composed by a Node.js microservice to get and set key value pairs on Redis.
We saw that if we have many concurrent requests from multiple clients we can’t know before which will be the final value of the key on Redis.
In this post we see an example about how we can lock a key value pair on Redis, so that another client has to wait before to set a new value.
We will use the Node.js implementation of Redlock, the algorithm to have distributed locks with Redis.
