What is distributed locking? With loosely coupled distributed systems, several instances of a microservice might be accessing the same shared resource. For example, several instances of a microservice might attempt to write to the same database. We have two kinds of locks: Optimistic: instead of blocking a potentially invalid process, the process continues, in the
