[RTC-454] Healthcheck endpoint #143

Closed sgfn closed 6 months ago

sgfn commented 7 months ago

About the topic: https://emmer.dev/blog/writing-meaningful-health-check-endpoints/ https://tyk.io/blog/api-health-checks-how-to-keep-apps-healthy/

There are several things we need to consider:

  1. Whether we want to perform some actual checks before responding (+ include some additional data in the response)
    1. We're effectively returning a hard-coded 200 every time, which seems more like a ping endpoint than a healthcheck endpoint...
    2. ...but:
      1. We don't have any microservices or databases we depend on
      2. There is little need for the distinction between live and ready states of Jellyfish:
        1. When it starts, it should function correctly from the get-go
        2. During its lifetime, we could designate it as not-ready whenever the load is too high to handle more traffic, but detecting that from within the app wouldn't be trivial
      3. We already have metrics reporting resource usage, amount of rooms etc. We could consider adding uptime, I guess (?)
  2. Whether issuing healthcheck requests should require authentication
    1. IMO right now it isn't necessary, but if we choose to include anything other than {"status": "UP"} in the response, we should use auth

Discussion on these topics is welcome 🙂

Acknowledging the stipulations set forth:

Unpinning myself, feel free to merge if @Rados13 and @roznawsk approve

I agree with Rados13 on the great research 👍🏽 . We can add information about distribution to the response.
