Health check endpoints for liveness, readiness, dependency monitoring. Use for Kubernetes, load balancers, auto-scaling, or encountering probe failures, startup delays, dependency checks, timeout configuration errors.

Health Check Endpoints
Implement health checks for monitoring service availability and readiness.
Probe Types
| Probe | Purpose | Failure Action | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Liveness | Is process alive? | Restart container | |
| Readiness | Can handle traffic? | Remove from LB | |
| Startup | Has app started? | Delay other probes | |
| Deep | All deps healthy? | Trigger alerts |
Implementation (Express)
Kubernetes Configuration
Best Practices
- Keep liveness checks minimal (no external deps)
- Check only critical systems in readiness
- Return 200 for healthy, 503 for unhealthy
- Set reasonable timeouts to prevent cascading failures
- Include response time metrics
Additional Implementations
See references/implementations.md for:
- Python Flask complete health checker
- Java Spring Boot Actuator
- Full Kubernetes deployment config
Never Do
- Make liveness depend on external services
- Return 200 when dependencies are down
- Skip dependency checks in readiness
