This is great, thanks for sharing! Looks like it’s expired and archived, but still good to know it exists. I may end up using some of the guidelines there as well, thanks!
I’m personally a fan of adding server uptime and/or start-time to healthcheck handlers, and/or the git hash of the running instance. There are some reasons not to do so, mostly security related, but on the balance having that extra information can help as a sanity check.
There’s a draft RFC proposing a standard format for health/liveness/service-status/whatever-term-you-like checks. I’ve implemented that format a couple times, and generally liked it, and it’s always nice to have an external standard so you don’t have to debate how to do it.
