B-Tree Insert and In-Order Traversal in Python

Simulates a B-tree (order 2) with insert and split logic, then prints keys in sorted order via in-order traversal.

b-tree tree data-structure
Python
class BTreeNode:
    def __init__(self, leaf=False):
        self.leaf = leaf
        self.keys = []
        self.children = []

    def is_full(self, t):
        return len(self.keys) == 2 * t - 1


class BTree:
    def __init__(self, t=2):
        self.t = t
        self.root = BTreeNode(leaf=True)

    def insert(s…

How to Simulate a Stable Sort Cursor in Python

Build a MongoDB-style cursor mock that stably sorts records by a key while preserving original order for ties, with next() and rewind() methods.

sorting cursors database
Python
```python
import random

class CursorStableSortMock:
    """Simulates stable sorting with a cursor-like pointer for MongoDB-style queries."""
    
    def __init__(self, data, sort_key, reverse=False):
        self.data = list(data)
        self.sort_key = sort_key
        self.reverse = reverse
        self._index = …

Mock CQRS Read/Write Split in Python

Separate order mutations from queries using a read model and write model to mock CQRS-style separation of concerns.

cqrs read-write dataclass
Python
from dataclasses import dataclass, field
from typing import List, Dict


@dataclass
class Order:
    id: int
    amount: float
    status: str = "pending"


class OrderWriteModel:
    """Handles all mutations (writes) to orders."""

    def __init__(self):
        self._orders: Dict[int, Order] = {}

UUID vs sequential primary key in Python

Simulate and compare UUID vs sequential primary key generation in Python to understand trade-offs in ordering and uniqueness.

uuid primary-key database
Python
import uuid
import time

def create_record_with_uuid(name):
    record_id = uuid.uuid4()
    return {"id": record_id, "name": name}

def create_record_with_sequential_id(name, counter):
    counter += 1
    return {"id": counter, "name": name}

if __name__ == "__main__":
    # Simulate users inserting records
