dynamodb-lock-manager

Node.js TypeScript module to manage distributed locks in DynamoDB with the AWS SDK. This package allows the caller to create locks, auto-refresh locks via heartbeats, takeover expired locks, and release locks.

This work is based on concepts from following AWS Database Blog post: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/database/building-distributed-locks-with-the-dynamodb-lock-client

For the creation and publishing of this npm package, I followed the guidelines given by Carl-Johan Kihl in the following blog post: https://itnext.io/step-by-step-building-and-publishing-an-npm-typescript-package-44fe7164964c
