Session 5 - Module C: Custom Validation Systems¶
⚠️ ADVANCED OPTIONAL MODULE Prerequisites: Complete Session 5 core content first.
Databricks Data Quality Success¶
The Databricks Data Processing Resilience Breakthrough¶
When Databricks experienced $3.4 billion in losses from system cascading failures triggered by data quality validation bottlenecks during peak processing hours, their Chief Data Officer launched the most ambitious reliability transformation in data platform history.
The scope was unprecedented: 418 critical data processing systems processing 12.3 million data transformations per minute across 52 countries, where a single validation failure could cascade into market-wide data pipeline disruptions affecting thousands of ML models and analytics workflows.
The solution emerged through custom validation systems with intelligent resilience.
After 11 months of implementing sophisticated error management with circuit breaker patterns, intelligent retry strategies, and resilient service integrations, Databricks achieved remarkable transformation:
- $2.2 billion in prevented losses through failure containment in data processing pipelines
- 96% reduction in system cascade failures across data processing platforms
- 99.98% system availability during peak data processing hours
- 1.8-second average recovery time from validation errors in streaming pipelines
- 84% decrease in operational risk incidents and data quality exposure
The resilience revolution enabled Databricks to launch real-time lakehouse analytics with 99.99% reliability, capturing $1.1 billion in new revenue from competitors unable to match their data processing stability and throughput.
Module Overview¶
You're about to master the same custom validation systems that transformed Databricks' global data processing infrastructure. This module reveals specialized business domain validation, data processing industry-specific rules, comprehensive error management, and resilient integration patterns that world-class data platforms use to maintain competitive advantage through unbreakable data processing reliability.
Part 1: Comprehensive Error Management for Data Processing¶
Advanced Error Handling Architecture for Data Systems¶
🗂️ File: src/session5/error_management.py - Complete error handling system
Production PydanticAI applications require sophisticated error handling strategies that maintain system stability while providing meaningful feedback optimized for data processing environments.
# Advanced error handling and recovery patterns for data processing systems
from enum import Enum
from typing import Callable, Awaitable, TypeVar, Union, Dict, Any
import asyncio
from functools import wraps
import traceback
from dataclasses import dataclass, field
from datetime import datetime, timezone
import uuid
import logging
T = TypeVar('T')
R = TypeVar('R')
Error Classification System for Data Processing¶
The error classification system provides structured categories and severity levels for consistent error handling across data processing applications.
class DataProcessingErrorSeverity(str, Enum):
"""Error severity levels for data processing classification."""
LOW = "low" # Minor data quality issues
MEDIUM = "medium" # Processing delays or retryable errors
HIGH = "high" # Data corruption or pipeline failures
CRITICAL = "critical" # System-wide data processing outages
class DataProcessingErrorCategory(str, Enum):
"""Error categories for systematic data processing handling."""
DATA_VALIDATION = "data_validation"
SCHEMA_MISMATCH = "schema_mismatch"
DATA_QUALITY = "data_quality"
PIPELINE_TIMEOUT = "pipeline_timeout"
RESOURCE_EXHAUSTION = "resource_exhaustion"
STREAMING_LAG = "streaming_lag"
FEATURE_STORE_ERROR = "feature_store_error"
DATA_WAREHOUSE_ERROR = "data_warehouse_error"
ML_MODEL_ERROR = "ml_model_error"
DATA_LAKE_ERROR = "data_lake_error"
CONFIGURATION = "configuration"
UNKNOWN = "unknown"
Comprehensive Data Processing Error Context¶
The ErrorContext class captures comprehensive error information including timing, categorization, retry logic, and user-friendly messaging tailored for data processing workflows.
@dataclass
class DataProcessingErrorContext:
"""Comprehensive error context for debugging and monitoring data processing systems."""
error_id: str = field(default_factory=lambda: str(uuid.uuid4()))
timestamp: datetime = field(default_factory=lambda: datetime.now(timezone.utc))
category: DataProcessingErrorCategory = DataProcessingErrorCategory.UNKNOWN
severity: DataProcessingErrorSeverity = DataProcessingErrorSeverity.MEDIUM
message: str = ""
details: Dict[str, Any] = field(default_factory=dict)
stack_trace: str = ""
retry_count: int = 0
max_retries: int = 3
recoverable: bool = True
user_facing_message: str = ""
# Data processing specific fields
dataset_id: Optional[str] = None
pipeline_stage: Optional[str] = None
rows_processed: int = 0
data_quality_impact: float = 0.0 # 0.0 to 1.0 scale
Now we add the dictionary conversion method for logging and monitoring:
def to_dict(self) -> Dict[str, Any]:
"""Convert error context to dictionary for data processing logging."""
return {
'error_id': self.error_id,
'timestamp': self.timestamp.isoformat(),
'category': self.category.value,
'severity': self.severity.value,
'message': self.message,
'details': self.details,
'stack_trace': self.stack_trace,
'retry_count': self.retry_count,
'max_retries': self.max_retries,
'recoverable': self.recoverable,
'user_facing_message': self.user_facing_message,
'dataset_id': self.dataset_id,
'pipeline_stage': self.pipeline_stage,
'rows_processed': self.rows_processed,
'data_quality_impact': self.data_quality_impact
}
Custom Data Processing Exception Classes¶
Specialized exception classes provide structured error information for different failure scenarios in data processing systems.
class DataProcessingAgentError(Exception):
"""Base exception class for data processing agent-specific errors."""
def __init__(self, message: str, context: DataProcessingErrorContext = None, cause: Exception = None):
super().__init__(message)
self.context = context or DataProcessingErrorContext()
self.context.message = message
self.context.stack_trace = traceback.format_exc()
self.__cause__ = cause
Now we define specialized error classes for different types of data processing failures:
class DataQualityError(DataProcessingAgentError):
"""Error specific to data quality validation failures."""
def __init__(self, message: str, dataset_id: str = None, quality_score: float = 0.0, **kwargs):
context = DataProcessingErrorContext(
category=DataProcessingErrorCategory.DATA_QUALITY,
severity=DataProcessingErrorSeverity.HIGH,
details={'dataset_id': dataset_id, 'quality_score': quality_score},
dataset_id=dataset_id,
data_quality_impact=1.0 - quality_score if quality_score > 0 else 1.0
)
super().__init__(message, context, **kwargs)
class SchemaValidationError(DataProcessingAgentError):
"""Error specific to data schema validation failures."""
def __init__(self, message: str, expected_schema: str = None, actual_schema: str = None, **kwargs):
context = DataProcessingErrorContext(
category=DataProcessingErrorCategory.SCHEMA_MISMATCH,
severity=DataProcessingErrorSeverity.HIGH,
details={'expected_schema': expected_schema, 'actual_schema': actual_schema}
)
super().__init__(message, context, **kwargs)
class StreamingLagError(DataProcessingAgentError):
"""Error specific to streaming data processing lag issues."""
def __init__(self, message: str, lag_seconds: int = None, topic: str = None, **kwargs):
context = DataProcessingErrorContext(
category=DataProcessingErrorCategory.STREAMING_LAG,
severity=DataProcessingErrorSeverity.MEDIUM if lag_seconds and lag_seconds < 300 else DataProcessingErrorSeverity.HIGH,
details={'lag_seconds': lag_seconds, 'topic': topic}
)
super().__init__(message, context, **kwargs)
Data Processing Error Classification Engine¶
The error classifier analyzes exception types and error messages to automatically categorize errors for appropriate handling strategies in data processing systems.
class DataProcessingErrorClassifier:
"""Classifies and categorizes errors for appropriate data processing handling."""
def __init__(self):
self.classification_rules = {
# Data validation and quality errors
(ValueError, TypeError): (DataProcessingErrorCategory.DATA_VALIDATION, DataProcessingErrorSeverity.MEDIUM),
(ValidationError,): (DataProcessingErrorCategory.DATA_VALIDATION, DataProcessingErrorSeverity.MEDIUM),
# Infrastructure and connectivity errors
(ConnectionError, ConnectionRefusedError, ConnectionResetError): (DataProcessingErrorCategory.DATA_WAREHOUSE_ERROR, DataProcessingErrorSeverity.HIGH),
(TimeoutError, asyncio.TimeoutError): (DataProcessingErrorCategory.PIPELINE_TIMEOUT, DataProcessingErrorSeverity.HIGH),
# Resource and performance errors
(MemoryError,): (DataProcessingErrorCategory.RESOURCE_EXHAUSTION, DataProcessingErrorSeverity.CRITICAL),
(OSError,): (DataProcessingErrorCategory.CONFIGURATION, DataProcessingErrorSeverity.HIGH),
# Permission and access errors
(PermissionError,): (DataProcessingErrorCategory.DATA_LAKE_ERROR, DataProcessingErrorSeverity.HIGH),
}
Now we implement the intelligent error classification logic for data processing:
def classify_error(self, error: Exception) -> tuple[DataProcessingErrorCategory, DataProcessingErrorSeverity]:
"""Classify an error into category and severity for data processing systems."""
error_type = type(error)
# Check direct matches first
for error_types, (category, severity) in self.classification_rules.items():
if error_type in error_types:
return category, severity
# Analyze error message for data processing specific clues
error_message = str(error).lower()
if any(word in error_message for word in ['schema', 'column', 'field', 'type mismatch']):
return DataProcessingErrorCategory.SCHEMA_MISMATCH, DataProcessingErrorSeverity.HIGH
elif any(word in error_message for word in ['quality', 'invalid data', 'corrupt']):
return DataProcessingErrorCategory.DATA_QUALITY, DataProcessingErrorSeverity.HIGH
elif any(word in error_message for word in ['timeout', 'deadline', 'expired']):
return DataProcessingErrorCategory.PIPELINE_TIMEOUT, DataProcessingErrorSeverity.HIGH
elif any(word in error_message for word in ['lag', 'delay', 'behind']):
return DataProcessingErrorCategory.STREAMING_LAG, DataProcessingErrorSeverity.MEDIUM
elif any(word in error_message for word in ['feature store', 'features']):
return DataProcessingErrorCategory.FEATURE_STORE_ERROR, DataProcessingErrorSeverity.HIGH
elif any(word in error_message for word in ['warehouse', 'sql', 'query']):
return DataProcessingErrorCategory.DATA_WAREHOUSE_ERROR, DataProcessingErrorSeverity.HIGH
elif any(word in error_message for word in ['model', 'prediction', 'inference']):
return DataProcessingErrorCategory.ML_MODEL_ERROR, DataProcessingErrorSeverity.HIGH
return DataProcessingErrorCategory.UNKNOWN, DataProcessingErrorSeverity.MEDIUM
Part 2: Intelligent Retry Strategies for Data Processing¶
Retry Strategy Configuration for Data Systems¶
🗂️ File: src/session5/retry_strategies.py - Intelligent retry implementations
Intelligent retry strategies prevent cascade failures and provide resilient error recovery patterns essential for production data processing agent systems.
class DataProcessingRetryStrategy:
"""Configurable retry strategies for data processing error recovery."""
def __init__(self, max_retries: int = 5, base_delay: float = 2.0, backoff_multiplier: float = 2.0):
self.max_retries = max_retries
self.base_delay = base_delay
self.backoff_multiplier = backoff_multiplier
self.retryable_categories = {
DataProcessingErrorCategory.PIPELINE_TIMEOUT,
DataProcessingErrorCategory.DATA_WAREHOUSE_ERROR,
DataProcessingErrorCategory.STREAMING_LAG,
DataProcessingErrorCategory.RESOURCE_EXHAUSTION,
DataProcessingErrorCategory.FEATURE_STORE_ERROR,
DataProcessingErrorCategory.DATA_LAKE_ERROR
}
self.non_retryable_categories = {
DataProcessingErrorCategory.SCHEMA_MISMATCH,
DataProcessingErrorCategory.DATA_VALIDATION # Schema issues need manual intervention
}
Next, we implement intelligent retry decision logic for data processing:
def should_retry(self, error_context: DataProcessingErrorContext) -> bool:
"""Determine if data processing error should be retried."""
if error_context.retry_count >= self.max_retries:
return False
if not error_context.recoverable:
return False
if error_context.severity == DataProcessingErrorSeverity.CRITICAL:
return False
Retry decision logic begins with fundamental safety checks: maximum retry limit enforcement prevents infinite loops, recoverability assessment avoids futile attempts, and critical severity blocking prevents system damage from cascading failures in data processing pipelines.
# Never retry schema or validation errors - they need manual fix
if error_context.category in self.non_retryable_categories:
return False
# Always retry retryable categories unless at max attempts
if error_context.category in self.retryable_categories:
return True
Category-based retry decisions differentiate between error types that benefit from retries versus those requiring immediate intervention. Schema and validation errors need manual fixes and won't resolve through retry attempts, while network timeouts and temporary resource issues often resolve automatically.
# For data quality issues, retry only if impact is low
if error_context.category == DataProcessingErrorCategory.DATA_QUALITY:
return error_context.data_quality_impact < 0.5 # Less than 50% impact
return False
Data quality error handling applies impact-based retry logic - low-impact quality issues may be transient and worth retrying, while high-impact issues likely indicate systematic problems requiring human intervention to prevent data corruption.
def calculate_delay(self, retry_count: int, error_category: DataProcessingErrorCategory = None) -> float:
"""Calculate delay before next retry attempt using exponential backoff with data processing optimizations."""
base_delay = self.base_delay
# Shorter delays for streaming lag issues
if error_category == DataProcessingErrorCategory.STREAMING_LAG:
base_delay = 0.5
# Longer delays for resource exhaustion
elif error_category == DataProcessingErrorCategory.RESOURCE_EXHAUSTION:
base_delay = 5.0
return base_delay * (self.backoff_multiplier ** retry_count)
### Retry Execution Framework for Data Processing
Delay calculation implements category-specific exponential backoff optimized for different error types. Streaming lag errors use shorter delays (0.5s) for rapid recovery, while resource exhaustion uses longer delays (5s) to allow system recovery. The exponential backoff prevents system overwhelm during widespread failures.
The core retry execution engine attempts function calls, classifies errors, makes retry decisions, and implements backoff delays for resilient data processing operations.
```python
async def execute_with_retry(
self,
func: Callable[..., Awaitable[T]],
*args,
**kwargs
) -> T:
"""Execute function with retry logic optimized for data processing."""
last_error = None
for attempt in range(self.max_retries + 1):
try:
return await func(*args, **kwargs)
except Exception as e:
classifier = DataProcessingErrorClassifier()
category, severity = classifier.classify_error(e)
error_context = DataProcessingErrorContext(
category=category,
severity=severity,
message=str(e),
retry_count=attempt,
max_retries=self.max_retries
)
Now we handle retry logic and delay calculation for data processing:
last_error = DataProcessingAgentError(str(e), error_context, e)
if not self.should_retry(error_context):
logging.warning(f"Not retrying {category.value} error: {str(e)}")
break
if attempt < self.max_retries:
delay = self.calculate_delay(attempt, category)
logging.info(f"Data processing retry {attempt + 1}/{self.max_retries + 1} after {delay}s for {category.value}")
await asyncio.sleep(delay)
if last_error:
raise last_error
raise DataProcessingAgentError("Maximum retries exceeded")
Error Handler Decorator for Data Processing¶
This decorator provides a clean interface for applying error handling and retry strategies to any data processing agent function with declarative configuration.
def data_processing_error_handler(
category: DataProcessingErrorCategory = DataProcessingErrorCategory.UNKNOWN,
severity: DataProcessingErrorSeverity = DataProcessingErrorSeverity.MEDIUM,
retry_strategy: DataProcessingRetryStrategy = None,
user_message: str = None,
dataset_id: str = None,
pipeline_stage: str = None
):
"""Decorator for comprehensive data processing error handling."""
def decorator(func: Callable[..., Awaitable[T]]) -> Callable[..., Awaitable[T]]:
@wraps(func)
async def wrapper(*args, **kwargs) -> T:
try:
if retry_strategy:
return await retry_strategy.execute_with_retry(func, *args, **kwargs)
else:
return await func(*args, **kwargs)
except DataProcessingAgentError:
# Re-raise DataProcessingAgentErrors with their existing context
raise
Now we handle generic exceptions and wrap them appropriately for data processing:
except Exception as e:
# Wrap other exceptions in DataProcessingAgentError
classifier = DataProcessingErrorClassifier()
error_category, error_severity = classifier.classify_error(e)
context = DataProcessingErrorContext(
category=error_category if error_category != DataProcessingErrorCategory.UNKNOWN else category,
severity=error_severity if error_severity != DataProcessingErrorSeverity.MEDIUM else severity,
message=str(e),
user_facing_message=user_message or "An error occurred while processing your data",
dataset_id=dataset_id,
pipeline_stage=pipeline_stage
)
raise DataProcessingAgentError(str(e), context, e)
return wrapper
return decorator
Part 3: Circuit Breaker Pattern for Data Services¶
Circuit Breaker Implementation for Data Processing¶
🗂️ File: src/session5/circuit_breaker.py - Circuit breaker for service resilience
Circuit breaker state management prevents cascade failures by isolating failing data services and providing automatic recovery mechanisms.
class CircuitBreakerState(Enum):
"""Circuit breaker states for data processing services."""
CLOSED = "closed" # Normal operation
OPEN = "open" # Failing, requests blocked
HALF_OPEN = "half_open" # Testing if service recovered
@dataclass
class DataProcessingCircuitBreakerConfig:
"""Configuration for data processing circuit breaker."""
failure_threshold: int = 3 # Lower threshold for data processing
recovery_timeout_seconds: float = 30.0 # Faster recovery for data systems
success_threshold: int = 2 # Fewer successes needed to recover
timeout_seconds: float = 15.0 # Shorter timeout for data operations
class DataProcessingCircuitBreaker:
"""Circuit breaker implementation for resilient data processing service calls."""
def __init__(self, name: str, config: DataProcessingCircuitBreakerConfig = None):
self.name = name
self.config = config or DataProcessingCircuitBreakerConfig()
self.state = CircuitBreakerState.CLOSED
self.failure_count = 0
self.success_count = 0
self.last_failure_time: Optional[datetime] = None
self.logger = logging.getLogger(f"DataCircuitBreaker.{name}")
# Data processing specific metrics
self.total_requests = 0
self.blocked_requests = 0
self.service_type = "data_processing" # Can be overridden
Protected Function Execution for Data Services¶
The core circuit breaker protection logic blocks calls when the circuit is open and manages state transitions during recovery attempts for data processing services.
async def call(self, func: Callable[..., Awaitable[T]], *args, **kwargs) -> T:
"""Execute data processing function call with circuit breaker protection."""
self.total_requests += 1
if self.state == CircuitBreakerState.OPEN:
if self._should_attempt_reset():
self.state = CircuitBreakerState.HALF_OPEN
self.logger.info(f"Data service circuit breaker {self.name} transitioning to HALF_OPEN")
else:
self.blocked_requests += 1
raise DataProcessingAgentError(
f"Data service circuit breaker {self.name} is OPEN - blocking request",
DataProcessingErrorContext(
category=DataProcessingErrorCategory.DATA_WAREHOUSE_ERROR, # Default, can be customized
severity=DataProcessingErrorSeverity.HIGH,
message="Data service unavailable due to repeated failures"
)
)
Now we execute the protected function call with timeout and error handling:
try:
result = await asyncio.wait_for(
func(*args, **kwargs),
timeout=self.config.timeout_seconds
)
await self._on_success()
return result
except Exception as e:
await self._on_failure()
# Convert to data processing specific error if needed
if not isinstance(e, DataProcessingAgentError):
classifier = DataProcessingErrorClassifier()
category, severity = classifier.classify_error(e)
context = DataProcessingErrorContext(
category=category,
severity=severity,
message=str(e)
)
raise DataProcessingAgentError(str(e), context, e)
raise
Intelligent State Management for Data Services¶
Automatic state management ensures data services can recover gracefully while protecting against premature recovery attempts that could overwhelm failing data processing services.
def _should_attempt_reset(self) -> bool:
"""Check if circuit breaker should attempt to reset for data processing services."""
if not self.last_failure_time:
return True
time_since_failure = datetime.now(timezone.utc) - self.last_failure_time
return time_since_failure.total_seconds() >= self.config.recovery_timeout_seconds
async def _on_success(self) -> None:
"""Handle successful data processing call."""
self.failure_count = 0
if self.state == CircuitBreakerState.HALF_OPEN:
self.success_count += 1
if self.success_count >= self.config.success_threshold:
self.state = CircuitBreakerState.CLOSED
self.success_count = 0
self.logger.info(f"Data service circuit breaker {self.name} CLOSED after successful recovery")
Next, we handle failure scenarios and state transitions for data processing:
async def _on_failure(self) -> None:
"""Handle failed data processing call."""
self.failure_count += 1
self.last_failure_time = datetime.now(timezone.utc)
if self.state == CircuitBreakerState.HALF_OPEN:
self.state = CircuitBreakerState.OPEN
self.success_count = 0
self.logger.warning(f"Data service circuit breaker {self.name} OPEN after failure during recovery")
elif self.failure_count >= self.config.failure_threshold:
self.state = CircuitBreakerState.OPEN
self.logger.warning(f"Data service circuit breaker {self.name} OPEN after {self.failure_count} failures")
def get_metrics(self) -> Dict[str, Any]:
"""Get circuit breaker metrics for data processing monitoring."""
return {
"name": self.name,
"state": self.state.value,
"failure_count": self.failure_count,
"success_count": self.success_count,
"total_requests": self.total_requests,
"blocked_requests": self.blocked_requests,
"success_rate": ((self.total_requests - self.blocked_requests) / max(self.total_requests, 1)) * 100,
"last_failure_time": self.last_failure_time.isoformat() if self.last_failure_time else None,
"service_type": self.service_type
}
Data Service Integration with Circuit Breakers¶
A consistent base class ensures all external data service integrations follow the same resilience patterns and monitoring standards.
# Integration patterns for data processing external services
class DataServiceIntegration:
"""Base class for data service integrations with comprehensive error handling."""
def __init__(self, service_name: str, base_url: str, service_type: str = "data_processing",
circuit_breaker_config: DataProcessingCircuitBreakerConfig = None):
self.service_name = service_name
self.base_url = base_url
self.service_type = service_type
self.circuit_breaker = DataProcessingCircuitBreaker(service_name, circuit_breaker_config)
self.circuit_breaker.service_type = service_type
self.retry_strategy = DataProcessingRetryStrategy(max_retries=3, base_delay=1.0)
self.logger = logging.getLogger(f"DataServiceIntegration.{service_name}")
Data quality errors include dataset context and quantified quality scores (0.3 indicating poor quality), while resource exhaustion errors represent capacity limitations. This comprehensive error simulation ensures robust testing of all error handling pathways in data processing workflows.
Now we implement the HTTP request method with comprehensive error handling for data services:
@data_processing_error_handler(
category=DataProcessingErrorCategory.DATA_WAREHOUSE_ERROR,
severity=DataProcessingErrorSeverity.HIGH,
user_message="Data service temporarily unavailable"
)
async def make_request(
self,
endpoint: str,
method: str = "GET",
data: Dict[str, Any] = None,
headers: Dict[str, str] = None,
dataset_id: str = None
) -> Dict[str, Any]:
"""Make HTTP request with comprehensive error handling for data processing."""
The make_request method demonstrates comprehensive decorator-based error handling for data service integrations. The decorator automatically categorizes errors as data warehouse issues with high severity, providing consistent error classification across the data processing system.
async def _make_http_request():
url = f"{self.base_url}/{endpoint.lstrip('/')}"
# Simulate various data processing failure scenarios for testing
import random
failure_chance = 0.05 # 5% chance of failure for data services
The internal HTTP request function constructs proper URLs by combining base URL with endpoint paths. The simulation logic introduces controlled failure scenarios (5% failure rate) essential for testing error handling, circuit breaker, and retry mechanisms in data processing environments.
if random.random() < failure_chance:
failure_type = random.choice([
'timeout', 'schema_error', 'data_quality', 'resource_exhaustion'
])
if failure_type == 'timeout':
raise StreamingLagError(f"Timeout connecting to {self.service_name}", lag_seconds=30, topic=endpoint)
elif failure_type == 'schema_error':
raise SchemaValidationError(f"Schema mismatch in {self.service_name}", expected_schema="v1.0", actual_schema="v0.9")
Failure simulation covers the most common data processing error scenarios. Timeout errors simulate network latency issues with streaming lag details, while schema errors represent version mismatch problems with specific schema version information for debugging.
elif failure_type == 'data_quality':
raise DataQualityError(f"Data quality issues in {self.service_name}", dataset_id=dataset_id, quality_score=0.3)
else:
raise DataProcessingAgentError(f"Resource exhaustion in {self.service_name}")
Finally, we return the successful response through the circuit breaker:
```python
# Simulate successful data processing response
return {
'success': True,
'data': {
'message': f'Success from {self.service_name}',
'endpoint': endpoint,
'service_type': self.service_type,
'dataset_id': dataset_id,
'rows_processed': random.randint(1000, 100000)
},
'status_code': 200,
'timestamp': datetime.now(timezone.utc).isoformat()
}
return await self.circuit_breaker.call(_make_http_request)
