The healthcheck should tell you if:

Service is available (not 500)
Dependencies to the service are available for use (Database, Message Queues, Other (direct) Services)

To add JSON response to request with additional ifnormation:

{ "database": { "alive":true, "readable":true, "writable":false }, errors: [ "An error has occurred", "Another error has occurred" ] }
