Health

In order to operate the runtime we provide some tooling to automate the process.

Health Endpoint

We expose a health endpoint that gives an indication whether or not the runtime is able to serve traffic.

You can easily query it with a simple GET:

curl -X GET "http://localhost:88/api/v1/health"
     -H "accept: application/json" --include

If everything is ok it will return an HTTP 200, otherwise an HTTP 503.

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

This feature allows you to determine if the container is successfully started up or if it's still healthy. It easily integrates with Kubernetes' liveness & readiness probes.
