Flask or FastAPI? Both! For fast prototypes Flask is still a damn good tool, but for “modern” APIs FastAPI might be better.
Create a minimal health check API using FastAPI:
pip install "fastapi[standard]"
from fastapi import FastAPI
app = FastAPI(
title="TEST",
description="TEST Project",
version="0.1",
)
@app.get("/health")
def health_check():
return {"status": "ok"}
run FastAPI via:
fastapi dev FILENAME
