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…Browse by section
