Tools: django-deploy-probes — deployment probe endpoints for Django (2026)
When deploying Django applications, I kept running into the same problem: health check endpoints were implemented differently in every project, and liveness checks often got mixed together with dependency checks. I built django-deploy-probes to make that cleaner. It is a small Django package that adds these endpoints: The package is meant for production deployment workflows such as Docker health checks, Kubernetes liveness/readiness/startup probes, blue-green deployments, rolling deployments, and CI/CD deployment validation. One design choice I cared about was keeping /healthz lightweight. Database, Redis, Celery, or other dependency checks do not belong in a liveness endpoint by default, so those checks are meant to live in /readyz or /startupz and be enabled explicitly through settings. The goal was not to build a full monitoring system, but to provide a small, reusable package for a piece of deployment logic that tends to get rewritten over and over in Django projects. Installation is simple: Then include the URLs in your Django project: That gives you endpoints like: GitHub: https://github.com/emfpdlzj/django-deploy-probes
PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/django-deploy-probes/ I’d appreciate feedback from people running Django in production, especially around the endpoint split, default behavior, and whether there are deployment cases I should support better.
