How to Build a Python Latency Histogram with Mock Buckets
This code implements a mock latency histogram that records request durations into configurable buckets and outputs counts, total, and average latency.
import time
import random
from collections import Counter
class LatencyHistogram:
def __init__(self, buckets):
self.buckets = sorted(buckets)
self.counts = Counter()
self.total = 0
self.sum_latency = 0
def record(self, latency_ms):
for i, boundary in enumerate(self.bu…How to Track Cache Hit Ratio in Python
Simulate an LRU cache with hit/miss tracking and compute a real-time hit ratio from random access patterns.
import random
import time
from collections import OrderedDict
class LRUCache:
def __init__(self, capacity: int):
self.cache = OrderedDict()
self.capacity = capacity
self.hits = 0
self.misses = 0
def get(self, key):
if key in self.cache:
self.hits += 1
