Streaming & messaging
Kafka-style pub/sub, event consumers, async pipelines, and message-driven workflows.
Batch Consume Process Commit Pattern in Python
A mock batch processor that accumulates items in a queue, processes full batches, commits successful or failed results, and flushes remaining items.
import random
import threading
import time
from collections import deque
class MockBatchProcessor:
def __init__(self, process_func, commit_func, batch_size=5):
self.queue = deque()
self.batch_size = batch_size
self.process_func = process_func
self.commit_func = commit_func

How to Implement an Outbox Table Poll Publisher in Python
This code simulates an outbox pattern with a class that polls for pending records and publishes them as JSON messages, removing only those that are due.
import time
import json
from dataclasses import dataclass, asdict
from datetime import datetime, timedelta
@dataclass
class OutboxRecord:
id: int
topic: str
payload: dict
created_at: datetime
class OutboxPollPublisher:
def __init__(self, poll_interval_seconds=1):
self.poll_interval = poll…
How to Simulate RabbitMQ Exchange Routing in Python
Simulate RabbitMQ exchange routing using a nested dict, matching routing keys against patterns like error.* and info.# to return bound queues.
from collections import defaultdict
def route_message(exchanges, exchange_name, routing_key):
"""
Simulate RabbitMQ exchange routing using a nested dict structure.
Returns list of queue names that match the routing key.
"""
queues = exchanges.get(exchange_name, {})
matched = []
for pa…
Implement the Transactional Outbox Pattern with SQLite in Python
A Python implementation of the transactional outbox pattern using SQLite, ensuring atomic writes of order data and outbox events in a single transaction while supporting reliable message publishing and consumption.
import sqlite3
from dataclasses import dataclass
from datetime import datetime, timezone
import json
@dataclass
class Order:
order_id: str
amount: float
status: str
class TransactionalOutbox:
def __init__(self, db_path=":memory:"):
self.conn = sqlite3.connect(db_path)
self._create_tab…
Kafka Consumer Poll Loop Mock in Python
Simulate a Kafka consumer poll loop with a mock class, process messages in batches, and commit offsets to understand streaming consumption patterns.
import time
class MockKafkaConsumer:
def __init__(self, topic, messages):
self.topic = topic
self.messages = list(messages)
self.position = 0
def poll(self, timeout_ms=100):
if self.position >= len(self.messages):
time.sleep(timeout_ms / 1000)
return []…
