cloud-lock

cloud-lock provides a means of distributed locking via cloud storage in Java. This let’s you do leader election to run certain workloads only once when your service is scaled out horizontally. Doing it via cloud has the benefit of not needing to provision a database for that purpose if your service is stateless in the first place.

Which cloud providers are supported?

At the moment, cloud-lock works with 3 different cloud storage solutions by the following providers:

• Google Cloud Storage (GCS) powered by Google Cloud Platform
