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

How to Mock a Kafka Producer Batch Send in Python

Simulate a Kafka producer in Python that sends batched JSON events with mock partitions and latency for testing streaming pipelines without a real broker.

class MockKafkaProducer:
    def __init__(self, topic):
        self.topic = topic
        self.sent_messages = []

    def send(self, value, key=None):

How to Simulate a Micro-Batch Interval Trigger in Python

A dataclass-based mock that emits batch numbers at fixed intervals, mimicking a micro-batch streaming scheduler for testing and development.

@dataclass
class MicroBatchTriggerMock:
    batch_interval_seconds: float = 0.5

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.

Python
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 []…
