Show HN: OctoStore = Leader election as a service (single binary, self-hostable)

https://octostore.io/
1•TheIronYuppie•1h ago
I got tired of standing up etcd clusters just to do leader election. Every option is either "run your own consensus cluster" or "use AWS."

OctoStore is distributed locking as a simple HTTP API. Sign up with GitHub, get a bearer token, POST to acquire a lock. That's it.

Under the hood: single Rust binary (Axum + DashMap + SQLite). No Redis, no Raft, no consensus protocol. Fencing tokens for actual safety (unlike Redlock). Locks auto-expire at max 1 hour, 100 locks per account.

Free hosted at api.octostore.io, or download the binary and self-host. SDKs for Python, Go, Rust, TypeScript, Java, C#, Ruby, PHP.

No business model. No enterprise tier. No VC funding. Just a thing that should exist.

Landing page: https://octostore.io/ API docs: https://api.octostore.io/docs GitHub: https://github.com/octostore/octostore.io
