Lifecycler is a Service that is responsible for publishing changes to a ring for a single instance.

  - When a Lifecycler first starts, it will be in a [PENDING] state.
  - After the configured [ring.LifecyclerConfig.JoinAfter] period, it selects some random tokens and enters the [JOINING] state, creating or updating the ring as needed.
  - The lifecycler will then periodically, based on the [ring.LifecyclerConfig.ObservePeriod], attempt to verify that its tokens have been added to the ring, after which it will transition to the [ACTIVE] state.
  - The lifecycler will update the key/value store with heartbeats, state changes, and token changes, based on the [ring.LifecyclerConfig.HeartbeatPeriod].
