flacon

Flask(-Twisted/Gunicorn) microframework for microservices with Prometheus and Sentry support.

The goal is to remove most of the boilerplate necessary to start a simple HTTP application. This provides:

• Sane arguments (--host, --port, --debug, --log-level)
• Support to have a production ready uwsgi container (--twisted or --gunicorn)
• Prometheus support with default metrics (flacon.metrics: See prometheus_flask_exporter)
• Optional sentry support if the SENTRY_DSN env var is set.
• If you have a 'static' directory in your module, just put a favicon.ico inside!

Installation

pip install flacon

# To use a production ready wsgi server install one of the following extra requirements
pip install flacon[twisted]
pip install flacon[gunicorn]

Quick-start

from flacon import Flacon

flacon = Flacon(__name__)
app = flacon.app  # This is a flask.Flask() app.

@app.route('/example')
def index():
    return 'Example'

def main():
    flacon.run()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
