Apitally - Simple API monitoring & analytics for Django

[itssimon]

Hey Django community,

I’d like to introduce you to my indie product Apitally, a simple API monitoring & analytics tool for Django.

Apitally provides insights into API traffic, errors and performance, for the whole API, each endpoint and individual API consumers. It also monitors API uptime & availability, alerting users when their API is down.

The big monitoring platforms (Datadog etc.) can be a bit overwhelming & expensive, particularly for simpler use cases. So Apitally’s key differentiators are simplicity & affordability, with the goal to make it as easy as possible for users to understand their APIs usage and performance.

Apitally integrates with Django through middleware, which captures request & response metadata (never anything sensitive!) and asynchronously ships it to Apitally’s servers in regular intervals.

Here's a screenshot of the Apitally dashboard:

If you'd like to try it out, there's a (short) setup guide for Django REST Framework.

Please let me know what you think!
