How to Implement Read-After-Write Consistency Mock in Python
Simulate strong versus eventual read-after-write consistency with a primary and replica store, demonstrating the difference in data visibility over time.
import time
class MockStorage:
def __init__(self, write_delay=0.1):
self.store = {}
self.replica = {}
self.write_delay = write_delay
def write(self, key, value):
# Write to primary storage immediately
self.store[key] = value
# Simulate async replication delay
…Zero Downtime Migration with Dual Write Pattern in Python
Implement a dual-write pattern that writes user data to both legacy and new systems simultaneously to enable zero-downtime migration.
from datetime import datetime
import json
class UserService:
def __init__(self):
self.legacy_db = {}
self.new_db = {}
self.migration_log = []
def write_user(self, user_id, name, email):
# Write to new system first
user_record = {
"id": user_id,
