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.
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.
from dataclasses import dataclass
from typing import Dict, Optional
@dataclass
class TxnRecord:
txn_id: str
status: str
class ExactlyOnceTxnLog:
def __init__(self) -> None:
self._log: Dict[str, TxnRecord] = {}
self._processed_ids: set = set()
def record(self, txn_id: str, status: s…
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.
from collections import defaultdict
class ExactlyOnceStore:
def __init__(self):
self.processed = defaultdict(set)
self.data = {}
def consume(self, key, value):
if key in self.data:
return False
self.data[key] = value
return True
def get_processed_count…
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.
from collections import deque
class DedupeStream:
def __init__(self):
self.seen = set()
self.queue = deque()
def add(self, item):
if item not in self.seen:
self.seen.add(item)
self.queue.append(item)
print(f"Processed: {item} (exactly once)")

How to Implement an Exactly-Once Deduplication Store in Python
Implement a Python class that deduplicates keys exactly once, tracking first-seen timestamps and duplicate counts.
from datetime import datetime
from typing import Any, Hashable
class ExactlyOnceStore:
def __init__(self) -> None:
self._seen: set[Hashable] = set()
self._first_seen: dict[Hashable, datetime] = {}
self._counts: dict[Hashable, int] = {}
def add(self, key: Hashable, value: Any = None) …
