MKS.KeyedLocking.InMemory

In-process keyed locking for single-instance applications.

Features

  • SemaphoreSlim per key - Exclusive locking within one process
  • Reference counting - Semaphores are removed when no longer needed
  • Singleton registration - AddInMemoryKeyedLock() extension method
  • Zero external dependencies beyond DI abstractions

Installation

dotnet add package MKS.KeyedLocking.InMemory

Dependency Injection

builder.Services.AddInMemoryKeyedLock();

Usage

public class OrderService(IKeyedLockService lockService)
{
    public async Task ProcessOrderAsync(long orderId, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
    {
        await using (await lockService.AcquireAsync($"order:{orderId}", cancellationToken: cancellationToken))
        {
            // critical section - only one thread in this process
        }
    }
}

When to Use

Use this package when:

  • You run a single application instance
  • No web garden or multiple pods behind a load balancer
  • You need fast, zero-network locking

For multi-instance deployments, use MKS.KeyedLocking.Redis or MKS.KeyedLocking.Oracle instead, optionally wrapped with MKS.KeyedLocking.Composite.
