@isaacd9 Thank you!

Do you mind if I take this one over? I just brought in a small API framework in #63, and we're starting to write more tests for new endpoints. I also want to follow this pattern [1] of two separate health check endpoints, one of which will ping the database to make sure it's also healthy. Basic health check endpoints are useful in some cases like where a proxy might want to it to check liveness, but the app could be totally non-functional because the DB is down and a basic health check would still be reading as healthy.

Pitched up https://github.com/riverqueue/riverui/pull/72 as an alternative.
