Calculate Error Rate from Log Stream in Python

Parses a mock log stream to count errors and compute the error percentage using a rolling window of recent entries.

    log_pattern = r'^\[(\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2} \d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2})\] (ERROR|INFO|DEBUG): (.*)$'

Auto Rollback on Error Rate Exceeded in Python

Simulate a service that monitors a rolling window of request errors and automatically rolls back when the error rate exceeds a threshold.
