/healthz

The /healthz endpoint provides a simple health check for go-dims. It is intended for use with load balancers, orchestration systems (like Kubernetes), or uptime monitoring tools.

✅ Purpose​

This endpoint is designed to verify that:

  • The HTTP server is up and accepting connections
  • The service can respond in a timely manner

It does not validate image backends, S3 access, or disk I/O — it only confirms the process is running and ready to serve requests.

🚦 Usage with Kubernetes​

You can use it as a readinessProbe or livenessProbe in Kubernetes:

readinessProbe: 
  httpGet: 
    path: /healthz 
    port: 8080 
  periodSeconds: 5 
  initialDelaySeconds: 3
