safir 5.0.0

The Rubin Observatory SQuaRE framework for FastAPI services.

Safir

Safir is Rubin Observatory's library for building FastAPI services for the Rubin Science Platform (Phalanx) and Roundtable Kubernetes clusters. Safir is developed, maintained, and field tested by the SQuaRE team.

Safir is available from PyPI:

pip install safir

The best way to create a new FastAPI/Safir service is with the fastapi_safir_app template.
