Health check your django project

Health check is about making sure that your django application and related services are always available / running. My go-to package for this is django-health-check. After installing and configuring django-health-check, you need to associate it with an uptime monitoring service, this is the service that will periodically call your health-check endpoint to make sure everything is fine. Here is a list of available options.

• upptime

• uptime-kuma

• uptimerobot

• better-uptime

• glitchtip
