node-js-race-conditions

A series of examples illustrating race conditions in Node.js and potential solutions.

Check out the code in the examples folder.

• examples/race-dummy.js: explores a simple race condition.
• examples/race-simple-fix.js: provides a simple solution using async/await.
• examples/race-mutex.js: provides a solution using mutexes (using the library async-mutex).
• examples/race-mutex-no-lib.js: provides a solution using mutexes (implementing the mutex pattern by ourselves).

These examples are illustrated in the article: Node.js race conditions.
