How to Implement Read-After-Write Consistency Mock in Python

Simulate strong versus eventual read-after-write consistency with a primary and replica store, demonstrating the difference in data visibility over time.

consistency replication mock
Python
import time


class MockStorage:
    def __init__(self, write_delay=0.1):
        self.store = {}
        self.replica = {}
        self.write_delay = write_delay

    def write(self, key, value):
        # Write to primary storage immediately
        self.store[key] = value
        # Simulate async replication delay

How to Replicate Data Across All Shards in Python

Mocks a global table that replicates a key-value pair to every shard, ensuring reads return the same value from any shard.

sharding replication distributed systems
Python
from dataclasses import dataclass
from typing import Dict, List


@dataclass
class Shard:
    id: str
    data: Dict[str, int]


class GlobalTable:
    def __init__(self, shards: List[Shard]):
        self._shards = {s.id: s for s in shards}

    def set_value(self, key: str, value: int) -> None:

Route SELECT Queries to Read Replicas in Python

A mock round-robin router that forwards SELECT queries to read replicas and sends writes to the primary.

database replication routing
Python
import random

class ReadReplicaRouter:
    """Round-robin router that sends SELECT queries to read replicas."""
    
    def __init__(self, replicas):
        self.replicas = replicas
        self.counter = 0
    
    def route(self, sql):
        if sql.strip().upper().startswith("SELECT"):
            replica = sel…
