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.

Python
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…

Implement Exactly-Once Transaction Log in Python

A mock transaction log that deduplicates transaction IDs so each is recorded only once, with a dataclass for records and simple in-memory storage.

Exactly Once Idempotent Consumer Store in Python

A mock key-value store that guarantees exactly-once processing by rejecting duplicate message keys in a message or event stream.

Exactly Once Processing Dedupe Mock in Python

Implements a streaming deduplicator using a set and queue to guarantee each item is processed exactly once while preserving insertion order.
