Batch Consume Process Commit Pattern in Python
A mock batch processor that accumulates items in a queue, processes full batches, commits successful or failed results, and flushes remaining items.
import random
import threading
import time
from collections import deque
class MockBatchProcessor:
def __init__(self, process_func, commit_func, batch_size=5):
self.queue = deque()
self.batch_size = batch_size
self.process_func = process_func
self.commit_func = commit_func
de…How to Implement Backpressure Pause Producer with a Bounded Queue in Python
Places a Producer thread that sends items into a bounded queue with backpressure: on Full, it pauses to let the consumer catch up.
import threading
import time
import queue
import random
class Producer:
def __init__(self, q):
self.q = q
self.running = True
def produce(self):
while self.running:
item = random.randint(1, 100)
try:
self.q.put(item, timeout=0.5)
…How to Simulate RabbitMQ Exchange Routing in Python
Simulate RabbitMQ exchange routing using a nested dict, matching routing keys against patterns like error.* and info.# to return bound queues.
from collections import defaultdict
def route_message(exchanges, exchange_name, routing_key):
"""
Simulate RabbitMQ exchange routing using a nested dict structure.
Returns list of queue names that match the routing key.
"""
queues = exchanges.get(exchange_name, {})
matched = []

Test Redis pub/sub logic without a live server using an in-memory fake that queues published messages per channel.
import redis
import time
import threading
class MockRedisPubSub:
def __init__(self):
self.channels = {}
def publish(self, channel, message):
if channel not in self.channels:
return 0
for subscriber in self.channels[channel]:
subscriber.put(message)
ret…How to Mock a Redis Transaction with MULTI/EXEC in Python
A minimal in-memory mock of Redis MULTI/EXEC transactions that queues commands and applies them atomically on EXEC.
class RedisTransactionMock:
def __init__(self):
self.data = {}
self.queue = []
self.in_transaction = False
def multi(self):
self.in_transaction = True
self.queue = []
return "OK"
def set(self, key, value):
if self.in_transaction:

Build an async write-behind cache that queues writes in memory and flushes them in batches to persistent storage.
import asyncio
from collections import deque
from dataclasses import dataclass
@dataclass
class CacheEntry:
key: str
value: str
class WriteBehindCache:
def __init__(self, flush_interval=1.0):
self.cache = {}
self.queue = deque()
self.flush_interval = flush_interval
