Hey FastAPI community,

When shipping APIs, we need access to relevant logs and metrics to troubleshoot issues and understand API usage/performance. However, I've found that most monitoring tools bury these in bloated dashboards that are a pain to use.

That's why I built Apitally, a simple API monitoring tool for FastAPI that focuses on what actually matters for APIs:

• Usage metrics (per endpoint and consumer)
• Error tracking (with stack traces)
• Performance monitoring
• Request logs + correlated application logs
• Uptime monitoring + alerts with Slack/Teams notifications

The Apitally SDK integrates with FastAPI via a lightweight middleware, which automatically captures metrics and logs for all requests and asynchronously sends them to Apitally in regular intervals.

Setup is super easy. Just add a few lines of code to your project:

from fastapi import FastAPI
from apitally.fastapi import ApitallyMiddleware

app = FastAPI()
app.add_middleware(
    ApitallyMiddleware,
    client_id="your-client-id",
    env="dev",  # or "prod" etc.
)

There's a detailed setup guide for FastAPI, if you'd like to try it out.

The Apitally dashboard looks like this ⬇️
