+# Distributed Lock
+
+This is a simple example that demonstrates Dapr's Distributed Lock capabilities.
+
+> **Note:** Make sure to use latest version of proto bindings.
+
+## Running
+
+To run this example:
+
+1. Run the multi-app run template:
+
+<!-- STEP
+name: Run multi-app
+output_match_mode: substring
+match_order: sequential
+expected_stdout_lines:
+  - '== APP - distributed-lock-example == Successfully acquired lock on: resource'
+  - '== APP - distributed-lock-example == Unsuccessfully acquired lock on: resource'
+  - '== APP - distributed-lock-example == Successfully released lock on: resource'
+  - '== APP - distributed-lock-example == Successfully acquired lock on: resource'
+background: true
+sleep: 30
+timeout_seconds: 90
+-->
+
+```bash
+dapr run -f .
+```
+
+<!-- END_STEP -->
+
+2. Stop with `ctrl + c`
