Generate Mock CPU and Memory Metrics in Python

Build a mock_host_metrics() generator that outputs realistic CPU and memory usage percentages for monitoring demos and tests.

mock metrics monitoring
Python
import time

def mock_host_metrics():
    """Generate mock CPU and memory metrics for a host."""
    cpu_percent = round(random.uniform(10.0, 95.0), 1)
    memory_percent = round(random.uniform(20.0, 90.0), 1)
    memory_used_mb = round(random.uniform(512, 8192), 1)

How to Mock a Baggage Context (Key-Value Store) in Python

This code implements an in-memory key-value mock of a baggage context, letting you set, get, check, and delete keys for tracing-style metadata.

baggage tracing mock
Python
class BaggageContext:
    def __init__(self):
        self._store = {}

    def set(self, key, value):
        self._store[key] = value
        return value

    def get(self, key, default=None):
        return self._store.get(key, default)

    def has(self, key):
        return key in self._store

Summary Quantile Mock Sketch in Python

Build a memory-efficient sketch that stores sorted bins of data points to answer approximate quantile queries like median without keeping all values in memory.

quantile sketch statistics
Python
import random
import statistics
from collections import Counter

class SummaryQuantileSketch:
    """
    A simple sketch that stores a fixed-size summary of data (min, max, deciles)
    using sorted bins, then answers approximate quantile queries.
