fastapi_healthz

Streamline your health checks with FastAPI using this user-friendly health check module. It serves as the foundational component for integrating and enhancing health checks within FastAPI.

This core module doesn't include any service checkers by default, but it offers a simple method for adding them. The reason for housing various modules separately is to accommodate the distinct dependencies required for each, ensuring that you only import the specific packages you need, thereby preventing any unnecessary package bloat.

This package is Pydantic v2 compliant.

Install

pip install fastapi-healthz or poetry add fastapi-healthz.

Eventually, you can partially install the package by running

pip install fastapi-healthz[redis]

pip install fastapi-healthz[rabbitmq]

pip install fastapi-healthz[database]

pip install fastapi-healthz[uri]

pip install fastapi-healthz[mongodb]

to install only the package you really need, with the required dependencies.

Adding Health Checks

Here is what you need to get started.

from fastapi import FastAPI
from fastapi_healthz import (
    HealthCheckRegistry,
    HealthCheckRabbitMQ,
    HealthCheckRedis,
    HealthCheckUri,
    HealthCheckDatabase,
    health_check_route,
)

app = FastAPI()

# Add Health Checks
_healthChecks = HealthCheckRegistry()

# SQLAlchemy
_healthChecks.add(HealthCheckDatabase(uri="dialect+driver://username:password@host:port/database"))
# RabbitMQ
_healthChecks.add(HealthCheckRabbitMQ(host="localhost", port=5672, vhost="", username="username", password="pwd", ssl=True))
# Redis
_healthChecks.add(HealthCheckRedis(uri="redis://[password:]host:port/database"))
# This will check external URI and validate the response that is returned.
_healthChecks.add(HealthCheckUri(uri="https://www.reddit.com/r/aww.json"))

app.add_api_route('/health', endpoint=health_check_route(registry=_healthChecks))

Returned Data

When you initiate a health check request, it will examine all the submitted entries and execute a fundamental query on each of them. If the results conform to expectations, a status code of 200 is returned. However, if an error is encountered, a 500 error response will be provided.

{
    "status":"Healthy",
    "totalTimeTaken":"0:00:00.671642",
    "entities":[
        {
            "alias":"db",
            "status":"Healthy",
            "timeTaken":"0:00:00.009619",
            "tags":["db"]
        },
        {
            "alias":"reddit",
            "status":"Unhealthy",
            "timeTaken":"0:00:00.661716",
            "tags":["uri"]
        }
    ]
}

Writing a custom checker

You can effortlessly extend the functionality of this foundational module by incorporating additional health checks for various services. Simply create a new service that imports the HealthCheckAbstract. Then, build the corresponding class around this abstract.

Once your service is prepared, integrate it into the HealthCheckRegistry, and you're all set to commence testing.
