High concurrency scenario: In high concurrency scenarios, the setnx command can be used to ensure that certain operations can only be executed once, such as limiting the number of user registrations or limiting the number of text messages sent.
Cache warming: During cache warming, the setnx command can be used to ensure that only one client is performing the cache warming operation, avoiding redundant work.
