Improving Error Handling and Lock Management in devlog-ist/landing

The devlog-ist/landing project is focused on building a landing page. Recent work improves the reliability of fetching and saving commit diffs and addresses potential issues with lock management. This ensures a smoother and more robust experience for users.

Addressing Lock Release Issues

A critical fix was implemented to only release the stagger lock when it was actually acquired. Previously, there was a risk of attempting to release a lock that hadn't been successfully obtained (due to a timeout, for example). Releasing a lock that wasn't acquired can lead to unexpected errors and instability. Now, the system checks if the lock was acquired before attempting to release it, preventing potential LockTimeoutException errors.

Enhancing Error Handling

To improve the user experience, the fetchAndSaveCommitDiff process has been wrapped in a try-catch block. This allows the system to gracefully handle unexpected errors that may occur during the diff fetching and saving process. Instead of a generic failure, users will now receive a more informative and user-friendly notification, making it easier to understand and address any issues.

These changes enhance the stability and user-friendliness of the devlog-ist/landing project. Check the full article for more details.
