How to Implement Graceful Degradation with Feature Disabling in Python

A pattern that disables enhanced features and falls back to basic functionality when a dependency fails, with mock-based testing.

graceful-degradation feature-flags resilience
Python
import random
from unittest.mock import patch


class EnhancedFeature:
    """A feature that can gracefully degrade when a dependency is unavailable."""

    def __init__(self):
        self.feature_enabled = True

    def get_enhanced_data(self):
        """Simulate an enhanced feature that depends on external data."…

How to Mock a Feature Flag Rollout Percentage in Python

Simulate a percentage-based feature flag rollout by hashing a user ID to deterministically enable features for a subset of users.

feature-flags rollout deterministic
Python
import random
from dataclasses import dataclass


@dataclass
class FeatureFlag:
    name: str
    rollout_percentage: int


def is_feature_enabled(feature_flag: FeatureFlag, user_id: str) -> bool:
    hashed_id = hash(user_id) % 100
    return hashed_id < feature_flag.rollout_percentage
