Below you can find the default endpoint but you can setup or disable them. To do that, check out the Options part.

The endpoint responds:

• 200 status code with the uptime of the server in second.

{ "uptime": 42 }

Used to configure liveness probe.

The endpoint responds:

• 200 status code if the server is ready.

{ "status": "ready" }

• 503 status code with an empty response if the server is not ready (started, shutting down, etc).
