How to Implement an Outbox Pattern Mock in Python
This code demonstrates a simple in-memory outbox pattern mock for publishing domain events and tracking pending events until they are marked as published.
from dataclasses import dataclass, field
from datetime import datetime
from uuid import uuid4
@dataclass
class DomainEvent:
event_id: str = field(default_factory=lambda: str(uuid4()))
occurred_at: datetime = field(default_factory=datetime.utcnow)
class Outbox:
def __init__(self):
self._events =…How to Order Partition Key Events in Python (Mock Stream)
Generate a mock event stream grouped by partition key and sort it deterministically by key then sequence in Python.
import itertools
import random
def partition_key_events(keys, events_per_key=3, seed=None):
"""Produce a realistic-looking, but mock, event stream grouped by partition key.
Args:
keys: iterable of partition keys (e.g. strings or ints).
events_per_key: how many events we want per key.
…Idempotent Consumer Event Processing in Python
Track processed event IDs to skip duplicates and count event types for a reliable, idempotent consumer.
import json
from collections import defaultdict
class EventProcessor:
def __init__(self):
self.processed_ids = set()
self.counts = defaultdict(int)
def process_event(self, event):
event_id = event["id"]
if event_id in self.processed_ids:
return {"status": "skipped"…Session window gap mock in Python
Group sorted timestamps into sessions where any gap between consecutive events exceeds a threshold starts a new session.
from datetime import datetime, timedelta
def session_windows(timestamps, gap_seconds=300):
"""Group timestamps into sessions where gaps > gap_seconds start new sessions."""
if not timestamps:
return []
# Sort timestamps chronologically to ensure correct windowing
timestamps = sorted(timestam…How to Mock an Exposure Event Log Record in Python
Generate a realistic exposure event record with UUID, UTC timestamp, and risk level for testing or experimentation.
import uuid
from datetime import datetime, timezone
def mock_exposure_event(person_id: str, location: str, duration_minutes: int) -> dict:
return {
"event_id": str(uuid.uuid4()),
"person_id": person_id,
"location": location,
"duration_minutes": duration_minutes,
"timestamp…Browse by section
