RedLock.net is a C# library implementing the Redlock distributed lock algorithm on top of StackExchange.Redis. It coordinates locks across multiple independent Redis instances so only one process uses a resource at a time, even across machines.

Use cases

• acquire distributed locks across multiple redis instances in .net
• ensure only one process runs a scheduled job across machines
• prevent duplicate processing of a resource in a microservices cluster
• implement leader election or mutual exclusion with redis
• lock a resource using redlock algorithm in c#

When to choose

• you need distributed locking in a .NET application with Redis available
• you want quorum-based locking across independent Redis masters for fault tolerance
• you want automatic lock renewal and expiry handling

When to avoid

• you only run a single Redis instance and simple SET NX locking suffices
• your project does not use .NET or StackExchange.Redis
• you need strongly consistent locking guarantees that Redlock's timing assumptions cannot provide
