redis-leader-by-lock

Simple implementation of Cluster Leadership Election using redis lock

Using Spring-Boot and Redis only

Motivation

Almost all examples of Leadership Election using Spring Boot go to Spring Cloud Cluster in Hazelcast (now deprecated) and Zookeeper(overpower in simple cases), and that's kinda strange, since Redis can use Set Lock to create an almost trivial Leadership Election. That's why I did it.

Requirements

Java 8

Maven

Redis
