Health Endpoint Generator — /health Snippets

Quick answer

Pick your stack and get a minimal health check route that returns HTTP 200 and a small JSON body—ready to paste into your repo. Then point StillOnline uptime monitoring at the public URL.

Generator

Stack

// app/api/health/route.ts
import { NextResponse } from "next/server";

export async function GET() {
  return NextResponse.json({ status: "ok" }, { status: 200 });
}

After deploy, point https://your-domain.com/health in StillOnline.

How it works

Each template returns {"status":"ok"} (or equivalent) on GET. Liveness vs readiness nuances are noted in comments. After deploy, add the URL in StillOnline—Free tier allows one URL every 5 minutes.

FAQ

Will StillOnline call POST endpoints?

Default checks use GET. If you need POST, configure method in the dashboard when creating a check.

Do I need authentication on /health?

Prefer a public liveness URL without secrets for external probes. Keep detailed diagnostics on a private route.

What about Kubernetes?

K8s uses the same patterns—this generator helps indie SaaS on Vercel, Railway, or a single VPS.
