# ddbsync

DynamoDB/sync

This package is designed to emulate the behaviour of `pkg/sync` on top of Amazon's DynamoDB. If you need a distributed locking mechanism, consider using this package and DynamoDB before standing up paxos or Zookeeper.

[GoPkgDoc](http://go.pkgdoc.org/github.com/ryandotsmith/ddbsync)

## Usage

Create a DynamoDB table named *Locks*.

```bash

$ export AWS_ACCESS_KEY=access

$ export AWS_SECRET_KEY=secret

```

```go

// ./main.go

package main

import(

		"time"

		"github.com/ryandotsmith/ddbsync"

)

func main() {

		m := new(ddbsync.Mutex)

		m.Name = "some-name"

		m.Ttl = 10 * time.Second

		m.Lock()

		defer m.Unlock()

		// do important work here

		return

}

```

```bash

$ go get github.com/ryandotsmith/ddbsync

$ go run main.go

```
