DEV STORY: Have applications wait for database availability before attempting to create connections

[lancelafontaine]

Description We've noticed that sometimes the database takes ~30 sec to create the models at runtime and be ready to accept connections, but the application services have thrown an error due to the requirement of creating a database connection. If you simply ./cjl down && ./cjl up, this problem goes away, but it may be worth having the application servers stall and wait as they perform a health check on the database before attempting to create a database connections.
