Health check endpoint is missing

[Bhautik0110]

Issue

• The health check endpoint should be there in order to verify the health checks of the application. It is helpful to detect unhealthy applications and prevent traffic redirect to unhealthy endpoints.

@Bhautik0110 We're waiting for rails 7.1 which has this feature out of the box: https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/46936

For now you can just use / path for healthcheck

@AlexandrToorchyn I am new to ruby, Does rails 7.1 version mention health point checks db health status as well? Because it mentioned

Reveal health status on /up that returns 200 if the app boots with no exceptions, otherwise 500.

@Bhautik0110 Rails default healthchecker doesn't include the DB healthcheck

[Bhautik0110]

@AlexandrToorchyn If we can add the db health check, it is good when the server is unable to connect to DB (sometime we call it as readiness probe). While the default health check endpoint is used for server liveness check.

used this , works fine

healthcheck: test: ["CMD-SHELL", "netstat -an | grep 3000 > /dev/null; if [ 0 != $? ]; then exit 1; fi;"] interval: 60s retries: 100 start_period: 20s timeout: 10s

@BeshoyAtef /up healthcheck endpoint has been added in the 1.3.6 release
