Software Architecture in Golang: Health Check Pattern (gRPC Example)
The Health Check pattern consists of implementing a way to expose the health of our service, to indicate if everything is performing correctly, typically web services implement it by defining and endpoint (like “/status” or “/health”) to exposes that information via status codes, or in gRPC using the gRPC Health Checking Protocol.
The Health Check Patter is also known as Health API Pattern or Health Monitoring Patern and is useful for Monitoring, Load Balancers and Service Registries.
