health
A Go library for building health check endpoints with synchronous and asynchronous checks, caching, and middleware support.
What is health?
Health is a Go library that provides a flexible health check endpoint for applications, allowing them to monitor the availability of dependencies like databases and external services. It aggregates health statuses into a JSON response to help ensure reliable operation in cloud environments by supporting both synchronous and asynchronous checks with caching.
Go developers building cloud-native applications that require robust health monitoring for dependencies such as databases, external APIs, or internal services, particularly those deploying on platforms like Kubernetes that use liveness and readiness probes.
Developers choose Health for its flexibility in mixing synchronous and asynchronous checks, enabling scalable monitoring without rewriting health logic, and its compatibility with existing health check implementations from other Go libraries, reducing integration effort.
