RedLock is a distributed lock algorithm that works by acquiring locks on multiple Redis nodes. It ensures mutual exclusion and avoids deadlocks by setting a short expiration time for each lock. The algorithm is considered successful if a majority of the nodes can be locked within a specified time, thus providing high availability and fault tolerance in distributed systems.
