How to Build an Anti-Corruption Layer in Python
Wrap a legacy system with a translation layer that converts awkward legacy data into a clean, modern DTO (Data Transfer Object) for use by new code.
class LegacyOrderSystem:
"""Legacy system with awkward, unstructured data."""
def get_order(self):
return {
"order_id": "ORD-123",
"cust": "Acme Corp",
"items": [{"sku": "A1", "qty": 2, "price_each": 10.0}],
"ship_to": "123 Main St, Springfield"
}…
CQRS with Separate Read and Write Repositories in Python
Implement CQRS in Python with separate write and read repositories, using commands for mutations and frozen DTOs for queries.
from dataclasses import dataclass
from typing import Dict, List, Optional
# --- Write side: commands mutate state ---
@dataclass
class CreateUserCommand:
id: int
name: str
class UserWriteRepository:
def __init__(self) -> None:
self._store: Dict[int, Dict[str, object]] = {}
def create(self,…
