class EventualConsistencyNote:
    def __init__(self, entity_id, note):
        self.entity_id = entity_id
        self.note = note

How to implement read-your-writes sticky routing in Python

A mock StickyRouter class that routes all requests for the same key to the same node, ensuring read-after-write consistency.

import random

class StickyRouter:
    def __init__(self, nodes):
        self.nodes = nodes
        self.routes = {}

    def route(self, key):
        if key not in self.routes:
            self.routes[key] = random.choice(self.nodes)
        return self.routes[key]

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.

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

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.
