It lets you define named probes (like 'readiness' and 'liveness') that run a collection of checks against external dependencies\u2014databases, caches, message brokers, and HTTP services\u2014and report their status via GET endpoints. The package includes built-in checks for PostgreSQL, Redis, RabbitMQ, Ceph, HTTP endpoints, and Pydantic settings validation, and you can extend it with custom Check implementations.\n\nThe package depends on fastapi, pydantic, and pydantic-settings. It installs as a pure Python wheel with low friction. Maintenance is dormant (last release February 2024, 925 days ago), but it supports current Python versions (3.10\u20133.12) and has no known vulnerabilities. It is most useful in containerized or orchestrated environments where external health check endpoints are expected.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need health check endpoints for a FastAPI application and are comfortable with dormant maintenance. The package is stable, has no vulnerabilities, and the core functionality (routing probes and running checks) is unlikely to break. Install it if you are building containerized services or need Kubernetes-compatible health endpoints; skip it if you require active maintenance or expect frequent updates to the check implementations."},"id":"fastapi-healthchecks","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/fastapi-healthchecks","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/fastapi-healthchecks.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/fastapi-healthchecks/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-02-01","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"fastapi-healthchecks","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"FastAPI Healthchecks"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":83894,"position":14041,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.1.0"}
