Microservices patterns
Service boundaries, discovery, inter-service calls, and decomposition patterns.
CQRS with Separate Read and Write Repositories in Python
Implement CQRS in Python with separate write and read repositories, using commands for mutations and frozen DTOs for queries.
from dataclasses import dataclass
from typing import Dict, List, Optional
# --- Write side: commands mutate state ---
@dataclass
class CreateUserCommand:
id: int
name: str
class UserWriteRepository:
def __init__(self) -> None:
self._store: Dict[int, Dict[str, object]] = {}
def create(self,…
How to Mock a Choreography Saga in Python
Simulate a choreography-based saga with event envelopes, status tracking, and compensating actions to model distributed transactions.
import json
from dataclasses import dataclass, asdict
from typing import List, Optional
from enum import Enum
class SagaStatus(Enum):
PENDING = "PENDING"
COMPLETING = "COMPLETING"
COMPLETED = "COMPLETED"
FAILED = "FAILED"
@dataclass
class EventEnvelope:
event_type: str
order_id: str

How to implement the Database per service pattern in Python
Simulate separate databases per microservice in Python using dataclasses and in-memory dictionaries, showing how services own their data independently.
import json
from dataclasses import dataclass, asdict
from typing import Dict, List
@dataclass
class User:
id: int
name: str
email: str
@dataclass
class Order:
id: int
user_id: int
product: str
amount: float
class UserServiceDB:
"""Simulates a separate database for the User servic…
