Implementing distributed locks using Golang's web framework Gin-gonic framework

Distributed locks are a common way to solve the problem of concurrent access to shared resources. In a distributed system, since multiple nodes operate the same resource at the same time, data inconsistency and resource competition may occur. Therefore, using a distributed lock mechanism can effectively avoid these problems. In Golang, you can use the Gin-gonic framework to implement distributed locks.

Gin-gonic is a lightweight web framework based on HTTP router implementation and provides many powerful middleware. Among them, the Mutex middleware provided by Gin-gonic can be used to implement distributed locks. Mutex middleware allows us to synchronize between different requests to ensure that only one request can access shared resources at the same time.

Below, we will use a simple example to demonstrate how to use the Gin-gonic framework to implement distributed locks.

First, we need to install the related libraries of gin and redis:

go get github.com/gin-gonic/gin
go get github.com/go-redis/redis

Next, we will create an HTTP service that provides two APIs: lock and unlock. The lock interface is used to obtain distributed locks, and the unlock interface is used to release distributed locks. We can use redis as a storage method for distributed locks.

package main

import (
    "github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
    "github.com/go-redis/redis"
    "net/http"
    "time"
)

func main() {
    r := gin.Default()

    // 初始化Redis
    client := redis.NewClient(&redis.Options{
        Addr:     "localhost:6379",
        Password: "",
        DB:       0,
    })

    // lock接口
    r.POST("/lock", func(c *gin.Context) {
        lockKey := c.PostForm("key")
        locked, err := client.SetNX(lockKey, "locked", time.Second*30).Result()
        if err != nil || !locked {
            c.JSON(http.StatusConflict, gin.H{
                "code":    1,
                "message": "get lock failed",
            })
            return
        }
        c.JSON(http.StatusOK, gin.H{
            "code":    0,
            "message": "get lock success",
        })
    })

    // unlock接口
    r.POST("/unlock", func(c *gin.Context) {
        lockKey := c.PostForm("key")
        if err := client.Del(lockKey).Err(); err != nil {
            c.JSON(http.StatusInternalServerError, gin.H{
                "code":    2,
                "message": "release lock failed",
            })
            return
        }
        c.JSON(http.StatusOK, gin.H{
            "code":    0,
            "message": "release lock success",
        })
    })

    r.Run()
}

In the above code, we first initialize a redis client. In the lock interface, we use the SetNX command of Redis to set the key to "locked" when the key does not exist, and set a timeout of 30 seconds. If the lock is acquired successfully, 200 OK is returned, otherwise 409 Conflict is returned. In the unlock interface, we use the Redis Del command to release the lock. If the lock is released successfully, 200 OK is returned, otherwise 500 Internal Server Error is returned.

Now, we can test these two APIs using the curl command. Assume that our application is running on localhost:8080:

# 获取锁
curl --request POST 
  --url http://localhost:8080/lock 
  --header 'content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' 
  --data key=mylock
# {"code":0,"message":"get lock success"}

# 再次获取锁
curl --request POST 
  --url http://localhost:8080/lock 
  --header 'content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' 
  --data key=mylock
# {"code":1,"message":"get lock failed"}

# 释放锁
curl --request POST 
  --url http://localhost:8080/unlock 
  --header 'content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' 
  --data key=mylock
# {"code":0,"message":"release lock success"}

Through the above test, we can see that our Gin-gonic application has successfully implemented distributed locks. Through Mutex middleware, we can easily implement distributed locks to ensure safe concurrent access to shared resources.
