Provide an option to disable checks in threads about django-health-check HOT 3 CLOSED

Agree that this would be helpful! We've recently run in to boto/boto3#801

Our use case is that we are using django-health-check to ensure the app can connect to and has permissions for various aws services. These fail intermittently, and it took some spelunking into DHC internals to identify that it executes checks in threads.

A configuration option to add the ability to run checks without spawning threads would be most helpful. Thanks!

Maybe also having a "cleanup" method in BaseHealthCheckBackend which is called in the finally clause of BaseHealthCheckBackend.run_check method would be a good idea to address to this problem (since there may be elements which needs an explicit cleanup when using threads).

I'm interested in this too.
Actually, either disabling threads or passing the context would work in my use case.

To quote PEP-567:

executor = ThreadPoolExecutor()
current_context = contextvars.copy_context()

executor.submit(current_context.run, some_function)
