Criteria

Please answer the following questions about the project you are submitting. This will help us determine whether it should be included in the Awesome Django list.

Note: If your project is only a few months old or has under 50 to 100 stars on GitHub, it may NOT meet the criteria for inclusion in the Awesome Django list. We recommend that you promote your project more and then consider submitting it when it has gained more visibility and community support.

Additionally: 🙅 We are not interested in Django Starter Kit projects. We might change our minds, but for now, these tend to be more similar than different. Every Django Starter Kit is awesome.

👉 Please read and fill out all five questions. We reserve the right to close your pull request without feedback if you skip one or all of them.

   • Yes
   • No

2. How long has the project been maintained?

4. Are you the author, or are you submitting the project on behalf of a company?

   • I am the author

5. What makes it awesome?

• Simple and intuitive dashboards with insights into API traffic, errors, performance, and consumers
• Request logging, with correlated application logs, for faster troubleshooting of API issues
• Uptime monitoring and custom alerts with Slack/Teams integration
• Super easy to integrate by just adding a middleware to a Django project
• Users have full control over what data is sent to Apitally, and can apply custom masking rules to protect sensitive data
• Independent product built and maintained by a solo founder, who responds to user feedback and bug reports without delay

@itssimon is the Apitally service open source or just the library to work with it? I'm trying to understand the relationship between the library and the service.

@jefftriplett Thanks for taking a look at this. The Apitally SDK (linked in the PR) is open-source and the backend service of Apitally is not.
