# Scheduling using Shedlock distribution

Ensures only one instance of a scheduled job runs in a clustered environment, preventing overlapping tasks across multiple nodes.

***

## Main Benefits

1. **Fail-safe**: If one node fails mid-job, another node can acquire the lock after lease expiry.
2. **Database Agnostic**: Works with multiple DB types.
