Building DevPulse: An Automated Code Health & Analytics Engine with FastAPI

# Building DevPulse: An Automated Code Health & Analytics Engine

🛠️ Hacktoberfest 2026 Week 3 Submission: Developer Tooling & Automation

For Week 3 of the Hacktoberfest 2026 DEV Challenge, I built DevPulse—an automated developer utility API using FastAPI that evaluates code snippets, calculates complexity metrics, and generates instant architectural feedback.

🚀 What I Built

An asynchronous FastAPI microservice designed to inspect code structures, evaluate cyclomatic complexity, and provide clean maintainability ratings for backend repositories.

• Tech Stack: Python 3.13, FastAPI, Uvicorn, Pydantic.
• Theme Alignment: Developer Tools & Workflow Automation.

💡 Why Developer Tooling Matters

Automating code health checks helps engineering teams catch structural bottlenecks early, ensuring robust, high-performance deployments across microservices.
