Production deployment patterns
Graceful shutdown, prod config, rollouts, readiness probes, and ship-with-confidence checks.
How to Mock a Dependency for Readiness Probe in Python
Use unittest.mock.Mock to simulate a dependency's readiness check response for testing a service's is_ready method without hitting a real connection.
import time
import unittest
from unittest.mock import Mock
class Service:
def __init__(self, dependency):
self.dependency = dependency
def is_ready(self):
try:
result = self.dependency.check()
return result == "ready"
except Exception:
return False
…How to Simulate Blue-Green Deployment Switch in Python
A mock Blue-Green deployment class that deploys new versions to an inactive environment, runs a health check, switches traffic, and supports rollback in Python.
import random
import time
class BlueGreenDeployment:
def __init__(self, initial_env="blue"):
self.environments = {"blue": "v1.0", "green": "v1.0"}
self.active_env = initial_env
self.running = True
def deploy_new_version(self, version, target_env):
if target_env == self.active_…Browse by section
