Description
The purpose of a lock is to ensure that among several nodes that might try to do the same piece of work, only one actually does it (at least only one at a time). That work might be to write some data to a shared storage system, to perform some computation, to call some external API, or suchlike. At a high level, there are two reasons why you might want a lock in a distributed application: for efficiency or for correctness.
