Summary of What Needs to be Done
The backend server currently has no health check endpoint. A /health route should be added to allow monitoring tools, load balancers, and DevOps tooling to verify the server is running and responsive.
Changes that Need to be Made
- Create a new route file
backend/routes/healthRoutes.js (or add to an existing file):
- Add a
GET /health route at backend/routes/healthRoutes.js
- The handler should return a JSON response:
{ status: 'ok', timestamp: <ISO timestamp> }
- Use HTTP 200 OK
- Mount the route in
backend/src/server.js (or the main entry):
- Import and mount the health routes at
/health path
Impact that it would Provide
- Enables uptime monitoring tools to check server health
- Allows load balancers to verify backend is reachable
- Provides a simple diagnostics endpoint for debugging
