I will give you a documentation of the service I am working on right now. I need you to help me to make improvements and modifications for this service because a new business logic appeared from the product team + a few moment we need to improve:
	1	While we can have only 3 claim types: direct, ref, or convert ref into direct, now we also have different actions. Each of this action can have one of those claim types. I will provide you with those actions, corresponding claim type and description on what is this action and what cooldown does it have: a. action: daily_tap, claim_type: direct. This type of action has a cooldown based on a streak (as we previously have: max(24 - streak, 8)) b. action: ref_points_acquire, claim_type: ref. This type of action has no cooldown because it generated automatically in FastAPI app when your referral claim his points. c. action: ref_points_claim, claim_type: convert. This type of action has a cooldown based on a streak (as we previously have: max(24 - streak, 8)) d. action: daily_login, claim_type: direct. This action available to user once a day (UTC timezone) It gives user some amount of direct points and the cooldown calculation is basically as I've said - it should be available once a day UTC time, it means the cooldown is dynamic. If I claimed this action 23:59 UTC then cooldown will be 1 minute, if I claimed 00:01 - cooldown is 23 hours 59 minutes, etc. e. action: lucky_ball_claim, claim_type: direct. This type of action is available to user each 4 days of his streak, so it basically has a cooldown of at least 72 hours + streak % 4 == 0 f. action: task_completed, claim_type: direct. This type of action has no cooldown as it is used for every user task. To make sure that user claimed each task only once, this action will use task_uuid as idempotency_key.
2 Idempotency key for each action per user (except task because task_uuid is used instead) should be generated and stored in DB and cache and propagated with updates after each claim. So FE could pass one of those keys(based on action) with each call to FastAPI app, so we don't need to make any additional calls to DB in FastAPI app and could just pass it to worker to handle it.
3 Any cooldown violation or idempotency key unique violation should be treated as idempotency, so this claim should be just skipped without any points or keys update as if it already was done.
4 Most likely worker will have multiple instances, so we need somehow to make sure that each worker will work with it's own partition of the topic due to sequencial messages partitioned by auth_user_uuid. Other wise we could have concurrent claims of same user because messages from same user that goes sequecially to one partition will be handled by different worker instances. We need this to prevent concurrency problems and dataloss.
5 Because we need to store current valid idempotency key per each action for each user, we can create new table to handle this. While claims event log could be separated from User. While claims even log will store user_uuid to maintain claims idempotency per user, we don't need it to be actually related to User model, as we need this uuid only to create some unique constraint in this evenlog to prevent false claims and double claims.

Please adjust the  worker using those new improvements. Here is the full documentation:

## 2. Configuration Management (config.py)

Use pydantic for robust and type-safe configuration management, incorporating configurations for PostgreSQL, Redis, and other components.

# app/config.py
from pydantic import BaseSettings, Field
from typing import Optional

class Settings(BaseSettings):
    # Pulsar Configuration
    pulsar_service_url: str = Field(..., env='PULSAR_SERVICE_URL')
    pulsar_consumer_topic: str = Field(..., env='PULSAR_CONSUMER_TOPIC')
    pulsar_consumer_subscription: str = Field(..., env='PULSAR_CONSUMER_SUBSCRIPTION')
    pulsar_producer_topic: str = Field(..., env='PULSAR_PRODUCER_TOPIC')
    
    # Database Configuration
    db_url: str = Field(..., env='DATABASE_URL')
    
    # Redis Configuration
    redis_host: str = Field('localhost', env='REDIS_HOST')
    redis_port: int = Field(6379, env='REDIS_PORT')
    redis_db: int = Field(0, env='REDIS_DB')
    redis_password: Optional[str] = Field(None, env='REDIS_PASSWORD')
    
    # Worker Configuration
    max_retries: int = Field(5, env='MAX_RETRIES')
    retry_delay_seconds: int = Field(5, env='RETRY_DELAY_SECONDS')
    max_concurrent_tasks: int = Field(100, env='MAX_CONCURRENT_TASKS')
    
    # Idempotency Configuration
    idempotency_enabled: bool = Field(True, env='IDEMPOTENCY_ENABLED')
    
    # Logging Configuration
    log_level: str = Field('INFO', env='LOG_LEVEL')
    
    class Config:
        env_file = '.env'
        env_file_encoding = 'utf-8'

settings = Settings()


Explanation:

- Comprehensive Settings: Includes configurations for Pulsar, PostgreSQL, Redis, worker behavior, and logging.
- Environment Variables: Utilizes .env files for configuration, enhancing security and flexibility.

---

## 3. Logging Setup (logger.py)

Implement structured and asynchronous logging to ensure non-blocking log operations, crucial for high-performance workers.

# app/logger.py
import logging
import sys
from .config import settings
from pythonjsonlogger import jsonlogger

def setup_logger():
    logger = logging.getLogger("worker")
    logger.setLevel(getattr(logging, settings.log_level.upper(), logging.INFO))
    
    handler = logging.StreamHandler(sys.stdout)
    formatter = jsonlogger.JsonFormatter(
        "%(asctime)s %(levelname)s %(name)s %(message)s"
    )
    handler.setFormatter(formatter)
    logger.addHandler(handler)
    
    # Avoid duplicate logs
    logger.propagate = False
    return logger

logger = setup_logger()


Explanation:

- Structured Logging: Uses pythonjsonlogger for JSON-formatted logs, enhancing log parsing and analysis.
- Performance: Ensures logging does not block the event loop, maintaining high throughput.

---

## 4. Database Models (models.py)

Define the SQLAlchemy models with appropriate indexing and include a model for processed messages to enforce idempotency.

# app/models.py
from sqlalchemy import Column, Integer, String, DateTime, Index, UniqueConstraint
from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declarative_base
from sqlalchemy.sql import func
import uuid

Base = declarative_base()

class Profile(Base):
    tablename = 'profiles'

    profile_uuid = Column(String, primary_key=True, index=True)
    auth_user_uuid = Column(String, unique=True, index=True)
    direct_points = Column(Integer, nullable=False, default=0)
    ref_points = Column(Integer, nullable=False, default=0)
    idempotency_key = Column(String, nullable=False, default=lambda: str(uuid.uuid4()), unique=True)
    updated_at = Column(DateTime(timezone=True), server_default=func.now(), onupdate=func.now())

    table_args = (
        Index('idx_auth_user_uuid', 'auth_user_uuid'),
    )


Explanation:

- Profile Model: Represents the user's profile with both profile_uuid and auth_user_uuid.
- Idempotency Key: The idempotency_key acts as an ETag, ensuring that each claim is unique and preventing duplicate or malicious claims.
- Indexing: Ensures that queries on auth_user_uuid, profile_uuid, and idempotency_key are performant.

---

## 5. Repository Class (repository.py)

Implement a repository class to handle database operations, enhancing code readability and maintainability.

# app/repository.py
from sqlalchemy.ext.asyncio import AsyncSession
from sqlalchemy.future import select
from sqlalchemy import update
from models import Profile
from .logger import logger
import uuid
from sqlalchemy.sql import func

class ProfileRepository:
    def init(self, session: AsyncSession):
        self.session = session

    async def get_profile(self, profile_uuid: str) -> Profile:
        stmt = select(Profile).where(Profile.profile_uuid == profile_uuid)
        result = await self.session.execute(stmt)
        profile = result.scalars().first()
        if not profile:
            logger.error(f"Profile not found: {profile_uuid}")
            raise ValueError("Profile not found.")
        return profile

    async def update_profile_idempotency_and_points(
        self,
        profile_uuid: str,
        direct_points: int,
        ref_points: int,
        new_idempotency_key: str
    ) -> Profile:
        stmt = (
            update(Profile)
            .where(Profile.profile_uuid == profile_uuid)
            .values(
                direct_points=Profile.direct_points + direct_points,
                ref_points=Profile.ref_points + ref_points,
                idempotency_key=new_idempotency_key,
                updated_at=func.now()
            )
            .returning(Profile)
        )
        result = await self.session.execute(stmt)
        profile = result.scalars().first()
        if not profile:
            logger.error(f"Profile not found during update: {profile_uuid}")
            raise ValueError("Profile not found during update.")
        return profile


Explanation:

- Encapsulation: The repository encapsulates all database interactions related to the Profile model.
- Readability: Enhances code readability by abstracting away raw SQL queries and updates.

---

## 6. Database Access Layer (db.py)

Use SQLAlchemy with asynchronous support for non-blocking database operations.

# app/db.py
from sqlalchemy.ext.asyncio import AsyncSession, create_async_engine
from sqlalchemy.orm import sessionmaker
from .config import settings
from .logger import logger

DATABASE_URL = settings.db_url

# Create asynchronous engine
engine = create_async_engine(DATABASE_URL, echo=False, future=True)

# Create asynchronous sessionmaker
async_session = sessionmaker(
    engine, expire_on_commit=False, class_=AsyncSession
)

async def get_db_session() -> AsyncSession:
    async with async_session() as session:
        try:
            yield session
        except Exception as e:
            logger.error(f"Database session error: {e}")
            raise


Explanation:

- Asynchronous Operations: Utilizes SQLAlchemy’s async capabilities to ensure non-blocking database interactions.
- Session Management: Uses context managers to ensure sessions are properly handled, preventing resource leaks.

---

## 7. Redis Client Wrapper (redis_client.py)

Implement a Redis client capable of executing comprehensive Lua scripts for atomic operations.

# app/redis_client.py
import aioredis
from .config import settings
from .logger import logger
import os

class RedisClient:
    def init(self):
        self.redis = None

    async def connect(self):
        if not self.redis:
            try:
                self.redis = await aioredis.create_redis_pool(
                    (settings.redis_host, settings.redis_port),
                    db=settings.redis_db,
                    password=settings.redis_password,
                    maxsize=20
                )
                logger.info("Connected to Redis.")
            except Exception as e:
                logger.error(f"Failed to connect to Redis: {e}")
                raise

    async def close(self):
        if self.redis:
            self.redis.close()
            await self.redis.wait_closed()
            logger.info("Redis connection closed.")

    async def execute_lua_script(self, script_path: str, keys: list, args: list):
        try:
            with open(script_path, 'r') as file:
                lua_script = file.read()
            sha = await self.redis.script_load(lua_script)
            return await self.redis.evalsha(sha, keys, args)
        except Exception as e:
            logger.error(f"Failed to execute Lua script {script_path}: {e}")
            raise

redis_client = RedisClient()


Explanation:

- Comprehensive Lua Execution: Prepares and executes complex Lua scripts that handle multiple operations atomically.
- Connection Pooling: Maintains efficient Redis connections for high concurrency.
- Lifecycle Management: Provides methods to connect and close Redis connections gracefully.

## 8. Pulsar Client Wrapper (pulsar_client.py)

Enhance the Pulsar client for high throughput, ensuring efficient message consumption and production.

# app/pulsar_client.py
import pulsar
from pulsar import Client, Producer, Consumer
from .config import settings
from .logger import logger
import asyncio

class PulsarClientWrapper:
    _client: Client = None

    @classmethod
    def get_client(cls) -> Client:
        if not cls._client:
            try:
                cls._client = pulsar.Client(settings.pulsar_service_url)
                logger.info("Connected to Pulsar.")
            except Exception as e:
                logger.error(f"Failed to connect to Pulsar: {e}")
                raise
        return cls._client

    @classmethod
    def get_consumer(cls) -> Consumer:
        client = cls.get_client()
        try:
            consumer = client.subscribe(
                settings.pulsar_consumer_topic,
                settings.pulsar_consumer_subscription,
                consumer_type=pulsar.ConsumerType.Shared,
                ack_timeout_milliseconds=60000
            )
            logger.info(f"Subscribed to Pulsar topic {settings.pulsar_consumer_topic}.")
            return consumer
        except Exception as e:
            logger.error(f"Failed to subscribe to Pulsar topic: {e}")
            raise

    @classmethod
    def get_producer(cls) -> Producer:
        client = cls.get_client()
        try:
            producer = client.create_producer(settings.pulsar_producer_topic)
            logger.info(f"Producer created for Pulsar topic {settings.pulsar_producer_topic}.")
            return producer
        except Exception as e:
            logger.error(f"Failed to create Pulsar producer: {e}")
            raise

    @classmethod
    def close_client(cls):
        if cls._client:
            cls._client.close()
            logger.info("Pulsar client closed.")


Explanation:

- Shared Consumer Type: Utilizes Shared consumer type for load-balanced message consumption, enhancing throughput.
- Timeout Management: Ensures messages are acknowledged within a reasonable timeframe to prevent message re-delivery.
- Lifecycle Management: Provides methods to connect and close Pulsar clients gracefully.

---

## 9. Lua Scripts for Redis (lua_scripts/cooldown.lua)

Use Lua scripts to perform atomic and idempotent operations in Redis, ensuring consistency when updating cooldowns and caches.

-- lua_scripts/cooldown.lua
-- KEYS[1] - last_claim_key
-- ARGV[1] - current_time (as integer)
-- ARGV[2] - cooldown_seconds (as integer)

local last_claim = redis.call("GET", KEYS[1])
if last_claim then
    local elapsed = ARGV[1] - tonumber(last_claim)
    if elapsed < tonumber(ARGV[2]) then
        return 0 -- Cooldown active
    end
end

-- Set the last_claim_time with expiration
redis.call("SET", KEYS[1], ARGV[1], "EX", 86400) -- Set cooldown with TTL of 24 hours
return 1 -- Claim allowed


Explanation:

- Cooldown Enforcement: Checks if a cooldown is active (EXISTS). If yes, the claim is rejected; otherwise, sets the new cooldown.
- Atomicity: All operations are performed within the Lua script, ensuring atomic execution and eliminating race conditions.
- Return Values:
- 1: Successful claim processing.
- 0: Cooldown active; claim rejected.

            "auth_user_uuid": auth_user_uuid,
            "profile_uuid": profile_uuid,
            "direct_points": direct_points,
            "ref_points": ref_points
        }

        except Exception as e:
            logger.error(f"Failed to produce update message for user {auth_user_uuid}: {e}")
            raise


Key Enhancements:

1. Idempotency via ETags:
- Validation: Compares the idempotency_key from the message with the one stored in the Profile.
- Generation: Upon successful claim processing, generates a new idempotency_key using uuid.uuid4().

2. Atomic Cooldown Checks with Lua Scripts:
- Cooldown Enforcement: Utilizes a Lua script (cooldown.lua) to atomically check if the cooldown period has passed and set the new last_claim_time.

3. Write-Through Cache Strategy:
- Immediate Cache Update: Updates the Redis cache immediately after the successful DB transaction, ensuring data safety and consistency.

4. Repository Pattern:
- Encapsulation: Encapsulates all DB operations within the ProfileRepository class, enhancing code readability and maintainability.

5. Error Handling and Logging:
- Comprehensive Exception Management: Ensures that any failure during processing results in appropriate actions (nack the message, log errors, and raise exceptions).
- Detailed Logging: Provides structured logs for easier monitoring and troubleshooting.

## 11. Worker Execution Logic (worker.py)

Refine the worker to support high concurrency, handle graceful shutdowns, execute atomic operations, and ensure robustness under high load.

# app/worker.py
import asyncio
import signal
from concurrent.futures import ThreadPoolExecutor
from pulsar import Consumer, Message, Timeout
from .pulsar_client import PulsarClientWrapper
from .processor import MessageProcessor
from .logger import logger
from .config import settings
from .redis_client import redis_client
from typing import Optional, Set

class Worker:
    def init(self):
        self.consumer: Optional[Consumer] = None
        self.shutdown_signal = asyncio.Event()
        self.executor = ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=10)
        self.active_tasks: Set[asyncio.Task] = set()
        self.semaphore = asyncio.Semaphore(settings.max_concurrent_tasks)

    async def start(self):
        await redis_client.connect()
        self.consumer = PulsarClientWrapper.get_consumer()
        loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
        for sig in (signal.SIGTERM, signal.SIGINT):
            loop.add_signal_handler(sig, self.initiate_shutdown)
        logger.info("Worker started and listening for messages.")

        try:
            while not self.shutdown_signal.is_set():
                try:
                    message: Message = await loop.run_in_executor(self.executor, self.consumer.receive, 1)
                    if message:
                        await self.semaphore.acquire()
                        task = asyncio.create_task(self.handle_message(message))
                        self.active_tasks.add(task)
                        task.add_done_callback(self.active_tasks.discard)
                except Timeout:
                    continue  # No message received, continue polling
                except Exception as e:
                    logger.error(f"Error receiving message: {e}")
                    await asyncio.sleep(settings.retry_delay_seconds)
        finally:
            await self.shutdown()

    def initiate_shutdown(self):
        logger.info("Shutdown signal received.")
        self.shutdown_signal.set()

    async def handle_message(self, message: Message):
        try:
            processor = MessageProcessor(message)
            retry_count = 0
            while retry_count < settings.max_retries:
                try:
                    await processor.process()
                    break
                except Exception as e:
                    retry_count += 1
                    logger.error(f"Error processing message {message.message_id()}, attempt {retry_count}/{settings.max_retries}: {e}")
                    await asyncio.sleep(settings.retry_delay_seconds)
            else:
                logger.error(f"Exceeded max retries for message {message.message_id()}. Giving up.")
        finally:
            self.semaphore.release()

    async def shutdown(self):
        logger.info("Shutting down worker gracefully...")
        self.shutdown_signal.set()
        # Wait for all active tasks to complete
        if self.active_tasks:
            await asyncio.wait(self.active_tasks)
        # Close Redis connection
        await redis_client.close()
        # Close Pulsar client
        if self.consumer:
            PulsarClientWrapper.close_client()
        self.executor.shutdown(wait=True)
        logger.info("Worker shutdown complete.")

def main():
    worker = Worker()
    try:
        asyncio.run(worker.start())
    except Exception as e:
        logger.error(f"Worker encountered an error: {e}")
    finally:
        logger.info("Worker has stopped.")

if name == "main":
    main()


Key Enhancements:

1. Concurrency Control:
- asyncio.Semaphore: Manages the number of concurrent tasks based on max_concurrent_tasks to prevent resource exhaustion.
- Task Management: Maintains a set of active tasks to ensure all are completed before shutdown.

2. Graceful Shutdown:
- Signal Handling: Listens for SIGTERM and SIGINT to initiate a graceful shutdown.
- Shutdown Sequence: Waits for all active tasks to finish, closes Redis and Pulsar connections, and shuts down the executor.

3. Error Resilience:
- Retry Mechanism: Retries message processing up to max_retries times with delays in between.
- Logging: Logs errors and warnings to aid in monitoring and troubleshooting.

4. Optimized Concurrency:
- Semaphore Usage: Ensures that the number of concurrent tasks does not exceed max_concurrent_tasks, managing system resources effectively.

## 10. Lua Scripts for Redis (lua_scripts/cooldown.lua)

Use Lua scripts to perform atomic and idempotent operations in Redis, ensuring consistency when updating cooldowns and caches.

-- lua_scripts/cooldown.lua
-- KEYS[1] - last_claim_key
-- ARGV[1] - current_time (as integer)
-- ARGV[2] - cooldown_seconds (as integer)

local last_claim = redis.call("GET", KEYS[1])
if last_claim then
    local elapsed = ARGV[1] - tonumber(last_claim)
    if elapsed < tonumber(ARGV[2]) then
        return 0 -- Cooldown active
    end
end

-- Set the last_claim_time with expiration
redis.call("SET", KEYS[1], ARGV[1], "EX", 86400) -- Set cooldown with TTL of 24 hours
return 1 -- Claim allowed


Explanation:

- Cooldown Enforcement: Checks if a cooldown is active (EXISTS). If yes, the claim is rejected; otherwise, sets the new cooldown.
- Atomicity: All operations are performed within the Lua script, ensuring atomic execution and eliminating race conditions.
- Return Values:
- 1: Successful claim processing.
- 0: Cooldown active; claim rejected.

## 12. Dockerization (Dockerfile)

Containerize the worker for consistent and reproducible deployments, optimizing for production environments.

# Dockerfile
FROM python:3.10-slim

# Set environment variables
ENV PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1
ENV PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1

# Set work directory
WORKDIR /app

# Install system dependencies
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y build-essential libpq-dev gcc && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

# Install Poetry
COPY pyproject.toml poetry.lock ./
RUN pip install --upgrade pip
RUN pip install poetry
RUN poetry config virtualenvs.create false
RUN poetry install --no-dev --no-interaction --no-ansi

# Copy application code
COPY app /app/app
COPY lua_scripts /app/lua_scripts

# Set environment variables for Poetry
ENV PYTHONPATH=/app

# Run the worker
CMD ["python", "app/worker.py"]


Explanation:

- Lean Base Image: Uses python:3.10-slim to reduce image size and surface area for vulnerabilities.
- System Dependencies: Installs necessary build tools and libraries for dependencies like aioredis and SQLAlchemy.
- Poetry Installation: Ensures reproducible builds by installing dependencies via Poetry.
- Inclusion of Lua Scripts: Copies the lua_scripts directory into the container, ensuring scripts are available during execution.
- Environment Variables: Sets PYTHONPATH to include the application directory, facilitating module imports.

Explanation:

- Mocking: Uses unittest.mock to simulate external dependencies like Pulsar, Redis, and the database, isolating the processor's logic for testing.

- Coverage:
- Direct Claims: Tests processing of direct points claims.
- Referral Claims: Tests processing of referral points claims.
- Conversion Claims: Tests processing of referral to direct points conversion claims.
- Idempotency: Ensures that duplicate claims with the same idempotency_key are rejected.
- Cooldown Enforcement: Validates that claims made within the cooldown period are rejected.
- Cache Initialization: Ensures that the cache is correctly initialized when absent.

- Assertions: Verifies that appropriate methods (ack, nack, DB executions, cache updates, and message production) are called based on different scenarios.

## 15. Environment Variables (.env)

Securely manage configurations using environment variables, ensuring sensitive data is not hard-coded.

# .env

# Pulsar Configuration
PULSAR_SERVICE_URL=pulsar://your-pulsar-service:6650
PULSAR_CONSUMER_TOPIC=your-consumer-topic
PULSAR_CONSUMER_SUBSCRIPTION=your-consumer-subscription
PULSAR_PRODUCER_TOPIC=your-producer-topic

# Database Configuration
DATABASE_URL=postgresql+asyncpg://user:password@db-host:5432/yourdb

# Redis Configuration
REDIS_HOST=redis-host
REDIS_PORT=6379
REDIS_DB=0
REDIS_PASSWORD=yourredispassword

# Worker Configuration
MAX_RETRIES=5
RETRY_DELAY_SECONDS=5
MAX_CONCURRENT_TASKS=100

# Idempotency Configuration
IDEMPOTENCY_ENABLED=True

# Logging Configuration
LOG_LEVEL=INFO


Explanation:

- Separation of Concerns: Keeps configuration separate from code, enhancing security and flexibility.
- Sensitive Data Protection: Ensures that sensitive information like database credentials and Redis passwords are not exposed in the codebase.

## Summary

This refined implementation addresses all your requirements by:

1. Implementing Idempotency via ETags: Each Profile includes an idempotency_key which acts as an ETag, ensuring that each claim is unique. The worker validates this key before processing and updates it upon successful claim processing.

2. Atomic Cooldown Checks with Lua Scripts: Utilizes a Lua script to atomically check and set cooldowns in Redis, ensuring that claims adhere to business rules without race conditions.

3. Comprehensive Cache Management: Ensures that the Redis cache is correctly initialized and updated alongside the PostgreSQL database, adhering to a write-through cache strategy for data safety.

4. Optimized Database Transactions: Consolidates database operations into a single atomic transaction without using row-level locks (FOR UPDATE), leveraging message partitioning to ensure sequential processing per user, thus enhancing performance.

5. Repository Pattern: Implements a ProfileRepository class to encapsulate all database interactions, enhancing code readability and maintainability.

6. Comprehensive Testing: Incorporates unit tests covering various scenarios, including idempotency, cooldown enforcement, and different claim types, ensuring reliability and correctness.

7. Structured Logging and Error Handling: Employs structured JSON logging for better observability and comprehensive error handling to maintain system integrity.

8. Dockerization for Deployment: Provides a Dockerfile to containerize the worker, ensuring consistent and reproducible deployments across environments.

9. Secure Configuration Management: Utilizes environment variables to manage configurations securely, preventing sensitive data exposure.

And here is also some documented improvements:

To enhance your Python worker service for robustness, idempotency, and performance under high load, several improvements can be implemented. These enhancements focus on:
	1	Enhancing Idempotency Handling
	2	Optimizing Database Models and Access
	3	Improving Processing Logic
	4	Boosting Concurrency and Scalability
	5	Enhancing Logging and Monitoring
	6	Refining Configuration Management
	7	Strengthening Testing Strategies
Below, I provide detailed improvements along with updated code snippets where applicable.

1. Enhancing Idempotency Handling
Current Implementation Issues:
	◦	Single Idempotency Key: The Profile model uses a single idempotency_key to handle all claim types. This approach lacks granularity and can lead to conflicts when handling multiple claim types concurrently.
Proposed Improvements:
	◦	Separate Idempotency Keys per Claim Type: Introduce a separate Claim model to manage idempotency keys for each claim type, ensuring that idempotency is enforced per claim type rather than globally per profile.
Updated Database Models (models.py):

# app/models.py
from sqlalchemy import (
    Column,
    Integer,
    String,
    DateTime,
    ForeignKey,
    Enum,
    UniqueConstraint,
    Index,
)
from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declarative_base
from sqlalchemy.orm import relationship
from sqlalchemy.sql import func
import uuid
import enum

Base = declarative_base()

class ClaimType(enum.Enum):
    direct = "direct"
    ref = "ref"
    convert = "convert"

class Profile(Base):
    __tablename__ = 'profiles'

    profile_uuid = Column(String, primary_key=True, index=True, default=lambda: str(uuid.uuid4()))
    auth_user_uuid = Column(String, unique=True, index=True, nullable=False)
    direct_points = Column(Integer, nullable=False, default=0)
    ref_points = Column(Integer, nullable=False, default=0)
    updated_at = Column(DateTime(timezone=True), server_default=func.now(), onupdate=func.now())

    claims = relationship("Claim", back_populates="profile", cascade="all, delete-orphan")

    __table_args__ = (
        Index('idx_auth_user_uuid', 'auth_user_uuid'),
    )

class Claim(Base):
    __tablename__ = 'claims'

    id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True, index=True)
    profile_uuid = Column(String, ForeignKey('profiles.profile_uuid'), nullable=False)
    claim_type = Column(Enum(ClaimType), nullable=False)
    idempotency_key = Column(String, nullable=False, unique=True)
    created_at = Column(DateTime(timezone=True), server_default=func.now())

    profile = relationship("Profile", back_populates="claims")

    __table_args__ = (
        UniqueConstraint('profile_uuid', 'claim_type', name='uix_profile_claim_type'),
        Index('idx_idempotency_key', 'idempotency_key'),
    )
Explanation:
	◦	ClaimType Enum: Defines allowed claim types (direct, ref, convert) to ensure type safety and consistency.
	◦	Claim Model: Represents individual claims associated with a Profile. Each claim has:
	◦	idempotency_key: Ensures that each claim is processed only once.
	◦	claim_type: Specifies the type of claim, allowing idempotency enforcement per type.
	◦	Relationships: A Profile can have multiple Claim entries, establishing a one-to-many relationship. This design prevents duplicate claims of the same type and maintains a history of claims.
Migration Considerations:
To apply these changes, you need to create and run database migrations (e.g., using Alembic):

alembic revision --autogenerate -m "Add Claim model for idempotency per claim type"
alembic upgrade head

2. Optimizing Database Models and Access
Repository Enhancements (repository.py):
Update the repository to handle the new Claim model, ensuring that idempotency is enforced per claim type.

# app/repository.py
from sqlalchemy.ext.asyncio import AsyncSession
from sqlalchemy.future import select
from sqlalchemy import update
from models import Profile, Claim, ClaimType
from .logger import logger
import uuid

class ProfileRepository:
    def __init__(self, session: AsyncSession):
        self.session = session

    async def get_profile(self, profile_uuid: str) -> Profile:
        stmt = select(Profile).where(Profile.profile_uuid == profile_uuid)
        result = await self.session.execute(stmt)
        profile = result.scalars().first()
        if not profile:
            logger.error(f"Profile not found: {profile_uuid}")
            raise ValueError("Profile not found.")
        return profile

    async def create_claim(
        self,
        profile_uuid: str,
        claim_type: ClaimType,
        idempotency_key: str
    ) -> Claim:
        claim = Claim(
            profile_uuid=profile_uuid,
            claim_type=claim_type,
            idempotency_key=idempotency_key
        )
        self.session.add(claim)
        try:
            await self.session.commit()
            await self.session.refresh(claim)
            logger.debug(f"Created claim {claim.id} for profile {profile_uuid} of type {claim_type}.")
            return claim
        except Exception as e:
            await self.session.rollback()
            logger.error(f"Failed to create claim for profile {profile_uuid} of type {claim_type}: {e}")
            raise

    async def get_claim_by_idempotency_key(self, idempotency_key: str) -> Claim:
        stmt = select(Claim).where(Claim.idempotency_key == idempotency_key)
        result = await self.session.execute(stmt)
        claim = result.scalars().first()
        return claim

    async def update_profile_points(
        self,
        profile_uuid: str,
        direct_points: int,
        ref_points: int
    ) -> Profile:
        stmt = (
            update(Profile)
            .where(Profile.profile_uuid == profile_uuid)
            .values(
                direct_points=Profile.direct_points + direct_points,
                ref_points=Profile.ref_points + ref_points,
                updated_at=func.now()
            )
            .returning(Profile)
        )
        result = await self.session.execute(stmt)
        profile = result.scalars().first()
        if not profile:
            logger.error(f"Profile not found during update: {profile_uuid}")
            raise ValueError("Profile not found during update.")
        await self.session.commit()
        logger.debug(f"Updated profile {profile_uuid} with direct_points={direct_points}, ref_points={ref_points}.")
        return profile
Explanation:
	◦	create_claim: Attempts to create a new Claim entry. If a duplicate idempotency_key exists, the unique constraint will prevent duplication, thereby enforcing idempotency.
	◦	get_claim_by_idempotency_key: Checks if a claim with the given idempotency_key already exists, preventing duplicate processing.
	◦	update_profile_points: Updates the profile's points based on the claim.
Transaction Management:
To ensure atomicity between creating a claim and updating profile points, encapsulate these operations within a single database transaction.

async def process_claim(
    self,
    profile_uuid: str,
    claim_type: ClaimType,
    direct_points: int,
    ref_points: int,
    idempotency_key: str
) -> Profile:
    async for session in get_db_session():
        repository = ProfileRepository(session)
        existing_claim = await repository.get_claim_by_idempotency_key(idempotency_key)
        if existing_claim:
            logger.info(f"Duplicate claim detected with idempotency_key: {idempotency_key}. Skipping processing.")
            return await repository.get_profile(profile_uuid)

        # Create a new claim
        await repository.create_claim(profile_uuid, claim_type, idempotency_key)

        # Update profile points
        profile = await repository.update_profile_points(profile_uuid, direct_points, ref_points)
        return profile
Explanation:
	◦	Idempotency Enforcement: Before processing a claim, the repository checks if a claim with the same idempotency_key exists. If it does, the claim is considered a duplicate and is not processed again.
	◦	Atomic Operations: Both claim creation and profile update occur within the same transaction to maintain consistency.

3. Improving Processing Logic
Processor Enhancements (processor.py):
Update the MessageProcessor to utilize the refined idempotency handling and ensure each claim type is processed correctly.

Key Enhancements:
	1	Per-Claim Idempotency:
	◦	Separate Claim Entries: Each claim type is processed with its own idempotency_key, ensuring idempotency is enforced per claim type.
	2	Atomic Claim Processing:
	◦	Transactional Integrity: Using the repository's process_claim method ensures that claim creation and profile updates occur atomically.
	3	Enhanced Cooldown Calculation:
	◦	Per-Claim Cooldown: Allows for different cooldown periods based on claim types if business logic requires.
	4	Optimized Cache Management:
	◦	Exclusion of Idempotency Key in Cache: Since idempotency is handled per claim type, the cache no longer needs to store a global idempotency_key.
	5	Improved Error Handling:
	◦	Detailed Exception Messages: Provides clearer error messages for easier debugging and monitoring.

4. Boosting Concurrency and Scalability
Worker Enhancements (worker.py):
Refine the worker to handle high concurrency efficiently while ensuring processing order and preventing resource exhaustion.

# app/worker.py

        self.shutdown_signal = asyncio.Event()
        self.executor = ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=10)
        self.active_tasks: Set[asyncio.Task] = set()
        self.semaphore = asyncio.Semaphore(settings.max_concurrent_tasks)

    async def start(self):
        await redis_client.connect()
        self.consumer = PulsarClientWrapper.get_consumer()
        loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
        for sig in (signal.SIGTERM, signal.SIGINT):
            loop.add_signal_handler(sig, self.initiate_shutdown)
        logger.info("Worker started and listening for messages.")

        try:
            while not self.shutdown_signal.is_set():
                try:
                    message: Message = await loop.run_in_executor(self.executor, self.consumer.receive, 1)

                        task = asyncio.create_task(self.handle_message(message))
                        self.active_tasks.add(task)
                        task.add_done_callback(self.active_tasks.discard)
                except Timeout:
                    continue  # No message received, continue polling
                except Exception as e:
                    logger.error(f"Error receiving message: {e}")
                    await asyncio.sleep(settings.retry_delay_seconds)
        finally:
            await self.shutdown()

    def initiate_shutdown(self):
        logger.info("Shutdown signal received.")
        self.shutdown_signal.set()

    async def handle_message(self, message: Message):
        try:
            processor = MessageProcessor(message)
            retry_count = 0
            while retry_count < settings.max_retries:
                try:
                    await processor.process()
                    break
                except Exception as e:

                    logger.error(f"Error processing message {message.message_id()}, attempt {retry_count}/{settings.max_retries}: {e}")
                    await asyncio.sleep(settings.retry_delay_seconds)
            else:
                logger.error(f"Exceeded max retries for message {message.message_id()}. Giving up.")
        finally:
            self.semaphore.release()

    async def shutdown(self):
        logger.info("Shutting down worker gracefully...")
        self.shutdown_signal.set()
        # Wait for all active tasks to complete
        if self.active_tasks:
            await asyncio.wait(self.active_tasks)
        # Close Redis connection
        await redis_client.close()
        # Close Pulsar client
        if self.consumer:
            PulsarClientWrapper.close_client()
        self.executor.shutdown(wait=True)
        logger.info("Worker shutdown complete.")

def main():
    worker = Worker()
    try:
        asyncio.run(worker.start())
    except Exception as e:
        logger.error(f"Worker encountered an error: {e}")
    finally:
        logger.info("Worker has stopped.")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
Key Enhancements:
	1	Rate Limiting and Backpressure:
	◦	Semaphore Control: The asyncio.Semaphore ensures that the number of concurrent tasks does not exceed MAX_CONCURRENT_TASKS, preventing resource exhaustion.
	2	Graceful Shutdown:
	◦	Signal Handling: Listens for SIGTERM and SIGINT signals to initiate a graceful shutdown, ensuring all active tasks are completed before exiting.
	3	Optimized Executor Usage:
	◦	ThreadPoolExecutor: Offloads blocking receive calls to a thread pool, allowing the event loop to remain responsive.
	4	Retry Logic:
	◦	Exponential Backoff (Recommended): Implement exponential backoff for retries to reduce load during failures. (See Code Enhancement below)
Code Enhancement: Implement Exponential Backoff for Retries
Modify the retry mechanism to include exponential backoff, which helps in managing load during transient failures.

async def handle_message(self, message: Message):
    try:
        processor = MessageProcessor(message)
        retry_count = 0
        base_delay = settings.retry_delay_seconds
        while retry_count < settings.max_retries:
            try:
                await processor.process()
                break
            except Exception as e:
                retry_count += 1
                delay = base_delay * (2 ** (retry_count - 1))
                logger.error(f"Error processing message {message.message_id()}, attempt {retry_count}/{settings.max_retries}: {e}. Retrying in {delay} seconds.")
                await asyncio.sleep(delay)
        else:
            logger.error(f"Exceeded max retries for message {message.message_id()}. Giving up.")
    finally:
        self.semaphore.release()

5. Enhancing Logging and Monitoring
Logging Enhancements (logger.py):
Improve logging by adding more contextual information and integrating metrics for monitoring.

# app/logger.py
import logging
import sys
from .config import settings
from pythonjsonlogger import jsonlogger

def setup_logger():
    logger = logging.getLogger("worker")
    logger.setLevel(getattr(logging, settings.log_level.upper(), logging.INFO))
    
    handler = logging.StreamHandler(sys.stdout)
    formatter = jsonlogger.JsonFormatter(
        "%(asctime)s %(levelname)s %(name)s %(message)s %(pid)d"
    )
    handler.setFormatter(formatter)
    logger.addHandler(handler)
    
    # Avoid duplicate logs
    logger.propagate = False
    return logger

logger = setup_logger()
Key Enhancements:
	1	Contextual Logging:
	◦	Process ID (pid): Adds pid to logs for better traceability in multi-process environments.
	2	Structured Logging:
	◦	JSON Format: Maintains JSON-formatted logs, facilitating easier ingestion into log management systems like ELK or Splunk.
	3	Integration with Monitoring Tools:
	◦	Metrics Collection: Integrate with monitoring libraries (e.g., Prometheus) to collect and expose metrics such as processed messages, processing failures, and latency.
Adding Metrics Collection with Prometheus (Optional):

# app/metrics.py
from prometheus_client import Counter, Histogram, start_http_server

# Define metrics
MESSAGES_PROCESSED = Counter('messages_processed_total', 'Total messages processed')
MESSAGES_FAILED = Counter('messages_failed_total', 'Total messages failed to process')
PROCESSING_TIME = Histogram('message_processing_seconds', 'Time spent processing messages')

def start_metrics_server(port: int = 8000):
    start_http_server(port)
Integrate Metrics in worker.py:

# app/worker.py
from .metrics import MESSAGES_PROCESSED, MESSAGES_FAILED, PROCESSING_TIME, start_metrics_server

class Worker:
    def __init__(self):
        # Existing initialization
        ...

    async def handle_message(self, message: Message):
        with PROCESSING_TIME.time():
            try:
                processor = MessageProcessor(message)
                retry_count = 0
                base_delay = settings.retry_delay_seconds
                while retry_count < settings.max_retries:
                    try:
                        await processor.process()
                        MESSAGES_PROCESSED.inc()
                        break
                    except Exception as e:
                        retry_count += 1
                        delay = base_delay * (2 ** (retry_count - 1))
                        logger.error(f"Error processing message {message.message_id()}, attempt {retry_count}/{settings.max_retries}: {e}. Retrying in {delay} seconds.")
                        await asyncio.sleep(delay)
                else:
                    MESSAGES_FAILED.inc()
                    logger.error(f"Exceeded max retries for message {message.message_id()}. Giving up.")
            finally:
                self.semaphore.release()
Start Metrics Server in main:

def main():
    start_metrics_server(port=8000)  # Start Prometheus metrics server
    worker = Worker()
    try:
        asyncio.run(worker.start())
    except Exception as e:
        logger.error(f"Worker encountered an error: {e}")
    finally:
        logger.info("Worker has stopped.")

6. Refining Configuration Management
Configuration Enhancements (config.py):
Ensure that configuration parameters are flexible and avoid hard-coded values. Introduce parameters for metrics and other new features.

# app/config.py
from pydantic import BaseSettings, Field
from typing import Optional

class Settings(BaseSettings):
    # Existing configurations...

    # Metrics Configuration
    metrics_enabled: bool = Field(True, env='METRICS_ENABLED')
    metrics_port: int = Field(8000, env='METRICS_PORT')

    class Config:
        env_file = '.env'
        env_file_encoding = 'utf-8'

settings = Settings()
Explanation:
	◦	Metrics Controls: Introduce metrics_enabled and metrics_port to optionally enable metrics and configure the port for the metrics server.

7. Strengthening Testing Strategies
Enhanced Testing for Idempotency and Concurrency (test_processor.py):
Expand test cases to cover scenarios specific to the new idempotency handling and concurrency.

# tests/test_processor.py
import pytest
from unittest.mock import AsyncMock, patch
from app.processor import MessageProcessor
from pulsar import Message
import json
from models import ClaimType

@pytest.fixture
def sample_message():
    class MockMessage(Message):
        def __init__(self, data):
            self._data = data.encode('utf-8')
            self._message_id = "test-message-id"

        def data(self):
            return self._data

        def message_id(self):
            return self._message_id

        def ack(self):
            pass

        def nack(self):
            pass

    return MockMessage

@pytest.mark.asyncio
@patch('app.processor.PulsarClientWrapper.get_producer')
@patch('app.processor.get_db_session')
@patch('app.processor.redis_client')
async def test_process_duplicate_claim(mock_redis, mock_db_session, mock_get_producer, sample_message):
    # Setup mocks
    mock_session = AsyncMock()
    repository = ProfileRepository(mock_session)
    # Simulate existing claim with same idempotency key
    mock_session.execute.return_value.scalars.return_value.first.return_value = AsyncMock(
        idempotency_key="unique-idempotency-key-duplicate"
    )
    mock_db_session.return_value = mock_session
    mock_producer = AsyncMock()
    mock_get_producer.return_value = mock_producer

    # Create message data with duplicate idempotency_key
    data = {
        "auth_user_uuid": "auth-uuid-123",
        "profile_uuid": "profile-uuid-456",
        "direct_points": 10,
        "ref_points": 0,
        "idempotency_key": "unique-idempotency-key-duplicate"
    }
    message = sample_message(json.dumps(data))

    # Initialize processor
    processor = MessageProcessor(message)

    # Execute process and expect exception
    with pytest.raises(Exception) as excinfo:
        await processor.process()

    # Assertions
    assert "Duplicate claim detected" in str(excinfo.value)
    message.nack.assert_called_once()
    mock_db_session.assert_awaited()
    mock_producer.send.assert_not_called()
Additional Test Cases:
	◦	Concurrent Processing Tests: Simulate multiple messages for the same profile and claim type to ensure idempotency is enforced.
	◦	Cooldown Enforcement Tests: Verify that claims within the cooldown period are rejected appropriately.
	◦	Cache Consistency Tests: Ensure that the cache is updated correctly after claim processing.
Explanation:
	◦	Duplicate Claim Test: This test verifies that processing a claim with a duplicate idempotency_key results in the message being nack-ed and not processed again.
	◦	Mocking Database and Redis: Uses unittest.mock to simulate database and Redis interactions, isolating the processor's logic.

8. Additional Architectural Improvements
Message Ordering and Partitioning:
To prevent race conditions and ensure consistency when processing multiple claims for the same user, implement message partitioning based on auth_user_uuid. This ensures that all messages for a given user are processed sequentially by the same worker instance.
Implementing Key-Based Partitioning with Pulsar:
Configure Pulsar to use key-based message routing.

# app/pulsar_client.py
import pulsar
from pulsar import Client, Producer, Consumer
from .config import settings
from .logger import logger
import asyncio

class PulsarClientWrapper:
    _client: Client = None

    @classmethod
    def get_client(cls) -> Client:
        if not cls._client:
            try:
                cls._client = pulsar.Client(settings.pulsar_service_url)
                logger.info("Connected to Pulsar.")
            except Exception as e:
                logger.error(f"Failed to connect to Pulsar: {e}")
                raise
        return cls._client

    @classmethod
    def get_consumer(cls) -> Consumer:
        client = cls.get_client()
        try:
            consumer = client.subscribe(
                settings.pulsar_consumer_topic,
                settings.pulsar_consumer_subscription,
                consumer_type=pulsar.ConsumerType.Shared,
                message_listener=None,  # Using manual acknowledgment
                ack_timeout_milliseconds=60000,
                schema=None  # Define schema if needed
            )
            logger.info(f"Subscribed to Pulsar topic {settings.pulsar_consumer_topic}.")
            return consumer
        except Exception as e:
            logger.error(f"Failed to subscribe to Pulsar topic: {e}")
            raise

    @classmethod
    def get_producer(cls) -> Producer:
        client = cls.get_client()
        try:
            producer = client.create_producer(
                settings.pulsar_producer_topic,
                send_timeout_millis=30000,
                max_pending_messages=1000,
                batching_enabled=True,
                batching_max_messages=500,
                batching_max_publish_delay_ms=1000
            )
            logger.info(f"Producer created for Pulsar topic {settings.pulsar_producer_topic}.")
            return producer
        except Exception as e:
            logger.error(f"Failed to create Pulsar producer: {e}")
            raise

    @classmethod
    def close_client(cls):
        if cls._client:
            cls._client.close()
            logger.info("Pulsar client closed.")
Publisher Enhancements:
Ensure that when producing messages, a key (auth_user_uuid) is set to enable partitioning.

# app/processor.py (within _produce_update)
await self._produce_update(auth_user_uuid, profile_uuid, direct_points, ref_points)

async def _produce_update(self, auth_user_uuid: str, profile_uuid: str, direct_points: int, ref_points: int):
    producer = PulsarClientWrapper.get_producer()
    update_data = {
        "auth_user_uuid": auth_user_uuid,
        "profile_uuid": profile_uuid,
        "direct_points": direct_points,
        "ref_points": ref_points
    }
    try:
        message = json.dumps(update_data).encode('utf-8')
        producer.send(message, partition_key=auth_user_uuid)
        logger.debug(f"Produced update message for user {auth_user_uuid}.")
    except Exception as e:
        logger.error(f"Failed to produce update message for user {auth_user_uuid}: {e}")
        raise
Explanation:
	◦	Partition Key: By setting partition_key=auth_user_uuid when sending messages, Pulsar ensures that all messages for a particular user are routed to the same partition, allowing sequential processing.
	◦	Producer Configuration:
	◦	Batching: Enabled to improve throughput by sending multiple messages in a single batch.
	◦	Timeouts and Limits: Configured to prevent producer blocking and manage resource utilization effectively.

9. Finalized Dockerization and Deployment
Dockerfile Enhancements (Dockerfile):
Optimize the Dockerfile for better performance, security, and scalability.

# Dockerfile
FROM python:3.10-slim

# Set environment variables
ENV PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1
ENV PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1

# Set work directory
WORKDIR /app

# Install system dependencies
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends \
    build-essential \
    libpq-dev \
    gcc \
    && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

# Install Poetry
COPY pyproject.toml poetry.lock ./
RUN pip install --upgrade pip
RUN pip install poetry
RUN poetry config virtualenvs.create false \
    && poetry install --no-dev --no-interaction --no-ansi

# Copy application code
COPY app /app/app
COPY lua_scripts /app/lua_scripts
COPY tests /app/tests

# Set environment variables for Poetry
ENV PYTHONPATH=/app

# Expose metrics port if enabled
ENV METRICS_PORT=${METRICS_PORT:-8000}
EXPOSE ${METRICS_PORT}

# Run the worker
CMD ["python", "app/worker.py"]
Key Enhancements:
	1	Lean Base Image:
	◦	Continues using python:3.10-slim for a minimal footprint and reduced surface for vulnerabilities.
	2	System Dependencies:
	◦	Utilizes --no-install-recommends to avoid unnecessary packages, further slimming the image.
	3	Poetry Installation:
	◦	Configures Poetry to install dependencies without creating virtual environments (virtualenvs.create false), aligning with Docker best practices.
	4	Code Caching:
	◦	Copies only necessary files before installing dependencies to leverage Docker layer caching, speeding up subsequent builds.
	5	Metrics Port Exposure:
	◦	Exposes the metrics port dynamically, allowing configuration via environment variables.
	6	Security Enhancements:
	◦	Runs as root by default, which is acceptable for many Docker deployments. However, for added security, consider adding a non-root user.
Optional: Adding a Non-Root User for Enhanced Security

# Add non-root user
RUN useradd -m workeruser
USER workeruser
Note: Ensure that all file permissions are appropriately set before switching to a non-root user.

10. Dependency Management and Code Quality
Poetry Enhancements (pyproject.toml):
Ensure all dependencies are up-to-date and necessary for performance and type safety.

# pyproject.toml
[tool.poetry]
name = "worker"
version = "0.2.0"  # Incremented version
description = "Async Worker for Points Recalculation with Enhanced Idempotency and Performance"
authors = ["Your Name <you@example.com>"]
license = "MIT"
repository = "https://github.com/yourusername/worker"

[tool.poetry.dependencies]
python = "^3.10"

types-json = "^2.0.9"
Code Quality Tools:
	◦	Black and Isort: Ensure consistent code formatting.
	◦	Flake8: Enforce PEP8 and code quality.
	◦	Mypy: Maintain type safety.
Explanation:
Maintaining up-to-date dependencies and leveraging type checking enhances code reliability and maintainability, essential for high-load, production-grade applications.

11. Comprehensive Testing Strategy
Integration and Load Testing:
Beyond unit tests, implement integration and load tests to evaluate performance under high-load scenarios.
Example Integration Test (test_integration.py):

# tests/test_integration.py
import pytest
from unittest.mock import AsyncMock, patch
from app.worker import Worker
from app.processor import MessageProcessor
import asyncio

@pytest.mark.asyncio
async def test_worker_load_handling():
    with patch('app.pulsar_client.PulsarClientWrapper.get_consumer') as mock_consumer, \
         patch('app.redis_client.RedisClient.execute_lua_script') as mock_lua, \
         patch('app.pulsar_client.PulsarClientWrapper.get_producer') as mock_producer:

        # Mock consumer.receive to yield a large number of messages
        async def mock_receive(timeout):
            # Simulate receiving messages up to a limit
            for i in range(1000):
                yield AsyncMock(Message, message_id=f"msg-{i}", data=b'{}', ack=AsyncMock(), nack=AsyncMock())

        mock_consumer.return_value.receive.side_effect = lambda timeout: asyncio.Future()
        # To simulate messages, you can use asyncio.Queue or similar mechanisms
        # Skipping detailed implementation for brevity

        # Mock Lua script to allow all claims
        mock_lua.return_value = 1

        # Mock producer send
        mock_producer.return_value.send = AsyncMock()

        worker = Worker()
        # Run the worker for a short period to simulate load
        asyncio.create_task(worker.start())
        await asyncio.sleep(5)  # Let the worker process messages for 5 seconds

        # Assertions can include checking the number of processed messages
        # and ensuring no performance degradation
Explanation:
	◦	Simulated High Load: Mocks the reception of a large number of messages to test worker scalability and performance.
	◦	Resource Utilization Monitoring: Ensure that the worker maintains acceptable CPU and memory usage under load.
Utilize Tools like Locust or JMeter:
For comprehensive load testing, consider using tools like Locust or Apache JMeter to simulate realistic traffic patterns and measure system performance.

12. Summary of Improvements

	◦	Considered non-root execution for enhanced security.
	9	Maintained Code Quality:
	◦	Ensured dependency management with Poetry.
	◦	Employed code quality tools for consistent and safe code.
By implementing these enhancements, your worker service will be more robust, scalable, and efficient, effectively preventing false or double claims even under high-load conditions.

13. Additional Recommendations
	1	Health Checks:
	◦	Implement health check endpoints to monitor the worker's status.
	◦	Example: Expose an HTTP endpoint using FastAPI to report health metrics.
	2	Distributed Tracing:
	◦	Integrate tracing tools (e.g., Jaeger) to trace request flows through the system, aiding in debugging and performance optimization.
	3	Caching Strategies:
