OctoStore

The product is an open-source coordination service that provides leader election and distributed locking via an HTTP API so only one process, job, or agent acts at a time. It solves race conditions, duplicate work, and stale-leader writes for scheduled jobs, cleanup workers, singleton schedulers, and agent fleets. It is for developers and operations teams in business environments building distributed systems across any language or runtime. It is delivered as a free hosted public service requiring no login and as a self-hosted MIT-licensed single binary with SQLite using the same HTTP and JSON API.
