Summary

Adds redlock-universal to the list of NodeJS distributed lock implementations in the distlock documentation.

About redlock-universal

Key Features

  • Full Redlock algorithm implementation for distributed locking
  • Native Valkey GLIDE support (in addition to node-redis and ioredis)
  • Auto-extension API (using()) that prevents lock expiry during long operations
  • Atomic batch lock acquisition for deadlock-free multi-resource locking
  • TypeScript-first with exported types
  • Zero runtime dependencies

Why Include

As the Valkey ecosystem grows, having a well-maintained distributed lock library with native GLIDE support benefits Valkey users migrating from Redis or building new applications.

Checklist

  • Follows existing documentation format
  • Links to active, maintained repository
  • Library supports Valkey through official GLIDE client
