Synchronization locks as a service.

Check it out here: https://outlock.greg.work

• Maybe you want someone else to manage your syncronization primitives?
• Maybe you want make mutexes that have to make a network call to work?
• Maybe you have some distributed services that need to share a resource atomically?

This is designed to run on Dreamhost's shared hosting and it is assumed to use:

• ruby 2.5.1
• Bundler version 1.16.1

Assuming you have those installed:

• bundle install to install all the deps.
• ruby create_database.rb to create the database.
• bundle exec rerun 'ruby outlock.rb' for an auto-reloading dev server.

• ruby tests/basic_functionality.rb

• Locks that expire after a timeout.
• Notify consumers when a lock has been unlocked or timedout.
• UDP / Websockets for faster communication with less overhead.
