Fan Out Records to Multiple Sinks in Python
Distribute the same records across multiple target sinks (database, API, queue, etc.) using a defaultdict-based fan-out pattern.
import json
from collections import defaultdict
SINKS = ["database", "api", "message_queue", "data_lake", "monitoring"]
def fan_out(records, *sinks):
dist = defaultdict(list)
for record in records:
for sink in sinks:
dist[sink].append(record)
return dict(dist)
