In order to operate the runtime we provide some tooling to automate the process.
Health Endpoint
We expose a health endpoint that gives an indication whether or not the runtime is able to serve traffic.
You can easily query it with a simple GET:
curl -X GET "http://localhost:88/api/v1/health"
-H "accept: application/json" --include
If everything is ok it will return an HTTP 200, otherwise an HTTP 503.
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

This feature allows you to determine if the container is successfully started up or if it’s still healthy. It easily integrates with Kubernetes’ liveness & readiness probes.
