How to Deduplicate Events with At-Least-Once Delivery in Python
Implements an exactly-once processing pattern for at-least-once event delivery by tracking seen event IDs in a set, skipping duplicates.
seen_ids = set()
def process_event(event_id: str, payload: dict) -> dict:
"""Process an event exactly once, ignoring duplicates."""
if event_id in seen_ids:
return {"status": "duplicate", "event_id": event_id}
seen_ids.add(event_id)
return {"status": "processed", "event_id": event_id, **payloa…How to Implement At-Least-Once Delivery with Acknowledgment in Python
This code demonstrates a mock message broker with at-least-once delivery, including retry logic and acknowledgment after successful processing.
import time
import uuid
from collections import deque
class MockMessageBroker:
def __init__(self):
self.queue = deque()
self.acked = set()
def publish(self, payload: str) -> str:
msg_id = str(uuid.uuid4())
self.queue.append((msg_id, payload))
return msg_id
def po…At Least Once with Idempotent Consumer in Python
Implements a thread-safe idempotent consumer that processes each unique message exactly once, even when a producer sends duplicates under an at-least-once delivery model.
import threading
import time
import uuid
from collections import Counter
class IdempotentConsumer:
def __init__(self):
self.processed = set()
self._lock = threading.Lock()
def consume(self, message_id, payload):
with self._lock:
if message_id in self.processed:
