How to Implement a Simple Event Bus in Python
Create a publish-subscribe event bus using dataclasses and defaultdict to decouple event producers from consumers.
from collections import defaultdict
from dataclasses import dataclass, field
from typing import Callable, Dict, List, Set
@dataclass
class EventBus:
_subscribers: Dict[str, List[Callable]] = field(
default_factory=lambda: defaultdict(list)
)
def subscribe(self, event_type: str, handler: Callable…How to Implement Publish-Subscribe Fanout with Multiple Subscribers in Python
Create a simple publish-subscribe system in Python that broadcasts messages to multiple subscriber callbacks for a given topic.
import time
class PubSub:
def __init__(self):
self.subscribers = {}
def subscribe(self, topic, callback):
if topic not in self.subscribers:
self.subscribers[topic] = []
self.subscribers[topic].append(callback)
def publish(self, topic, message):
if topic in sel…How to Demonstrate the Shared Database Antipattern in Python
This code simulates a shared database where multiple services write and read the same SQLite table, illustrating tight coupling and its pitfalls.
import sqlite3
from pathlib import Path
def create_shared_db(db_path: Path) -> None:
"""Mock demonstrating the shared database antipattern where multiple
services access the same database, causing tight coupling."""
conn = sqlite3.connect(db_path)
cur = conn.cursor()
cur.execute("""
