@pixperk crazy as usual

5 months ago i sketched out a distributed lock sdk. today i shipped enough of it that i think it's actually usable.

it's called lowkey. distributed locks in go.

- CP over AP, because for locks, wrong answers are worse than no answers.
- raft for consensus, fencing tokens to keep stale clients from corrupting state, monotonic clocks because wall time lies.

> p50 of 2.87ms, p99 under 6ms.

the trick that bought most of the speed: not everything needs raft. lease renewals run leader-only, so heartbeats skip the consensus round-trip. acquires and releases still go through the log because those actually change state.
