How to Create a Deep Health Check Database in Python
Setup a SQLite-backed health check database, insert mock data with response times and statuses, and generate a report ordered by most recent check.
import sqlite3
from datetime import datetime, timedelta
from pathlib import Path
DB_PATH = Path("deep_health_check.db")
def setup_database():
conn = sqlite3.connect(DB_PATH)
cursor = conn.cursor()
cursor.execute("""
