24 alternatives to Lockable – sync locks for distributed systems
Hi guys, creator of lockable here - the easiest way to think of lockable is as `flock` for when you don’t have a shared file system. You can use it to control concurrent access to resources or to ensure only a single instance of a process runs at any given time. Your processes can acquire, refresh and release locks via simple HTTP requests, so it’s language/framework agnostic.

Whirlwind is a sharded HashMap with a fully asynchronous API. Just as dashmap is a replacement for std::sync::RwLock, whirlwind aims to be a replacement for tokio::sync::RwLock. It has a similar design and performance characteristics to dashmap, but seems to perform better in read-heavy workloads with tokio's…
