:lock: Distributed semaphores using Memcached or Redis in Ruby.
Suo provides a very performant distributed lock solution using Compare-And-Set (`CAS`) commands in Memcached, and `WATCH/MULTI` in Redis. It allows locking both single exclusion (a mutex - sharing one resource), and multiple resources.
