A pluggable health check library for Django applications that monitors the app and its connected services. It bundles checks for caches, databases, disk/memory, DNS, email, Celery, Kafka, RabbitMQ, Redis, and cloud provider status, with output via HTML, HTTP status codes, OpenMetrics, CLI, RSS/Atom, and JSON.

Use cases

• add a health check endpoint to a django app
• kubernetes liveness and readiness probes for django
• expose prometheus metrics for service health
• check database and redis connectivity from a load balancer
• monitor celery worker health
• docker healthcheck command for a django container

When to choose

• you run Django behind load balancers or orchestrators that need health endpoints
• you want bundled checks for common services like databases, caches, and message queues
• you need machine-readable health output (Prometheus, JSON, HTTP status codes)

When to avoid

• your application is not built on Django
• you need health checks for a non-Python stack
• you need full application performance monitoring rather than health checks
