How to Check Service Readiness Dependencies in Python
This code simulates a readiness check for external dependencies (database, cache, queue) with mock availability data and reports readiness status.
import sys
from datetime import datetime
def check_dependencies(config):
results = []
for dep, required in config.items():
available = mock_availability(dep)
status = "READY" if available >= required else "NOT READY"
results.append((dep, available, required, status))
return result…Cache-Aside Pattern in Python: Per-Service Mock
A Python mock of the cache-aside pattern for a single microservice—lazy-load from a database into an in-memory cache and invalidate on updates.
class ServiceCache:
def __init__(self):
self.database = {"user:1": "Alice", "user:2": "Bob", "user:3": "Charlie"}
self.cache = {}
def get_user(self, user_id):
cache_key = f"user:{user_id}"
if cache_key in self.cache:
print(f"CACHE HIT: {cache_key}")
retu…Cache persist MEMORY_ONLY mock in Python
Mock a MEMORY_ONLY persistence cache in Python with an LRU eviction policy and optional persistence flag.
import time
class LRUCache:
def __init__(self, capacity, persistence="MEMORY_ONLY"):
self.capacity = capacity
self.persistence = persistence
self.cache = {}
self.access_order = []
self.hits = 0
self.misses = 0
def get(self, key):
if key in self.cache:
…How to Mock a Feature Store Online Lookup in Python
This code simulates an online feature store with single and batch retrieval methods, using a dict-backed cache and timestamps.
import random
import time
class OnlineFeatureStore:
def __init__(self):
self.features = {}
def put(self, entity_id: str, feature_name: str, value):
key = (entity_id, feature_name)
self.features[key] = (value, time.time())
def get(self, entity_id: str, feature_name: str):
