feat: add /api/healthz and /api/readyz endpoints - #749
Conversation
Adds two unauthenticated endpoints for container orchestrators (Kubernetes, Docker healthchecks, etc.): - /api/healthz: dependency-free liveness check, only confirms the Next.js server itself is responding. Intentionally never touches the database, so a broken/unreachable Postgres never causes cascading restarts across replicas. - /api/readyz: readiness check that verifies the database is reachable via a bounded SELECT 1, so load balancers can stop routing traffic to an instance while Postgres is down, without restarting the process.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughAdds ChangesHealth and readiness checks
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~15 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The PR adds an unauthenticated database-backed readiness endpoint. If database queries stall, the response timeout may return 503 while the underlying work continues, and unrestricted probing could consume shared database capacity and affect normal requests. The change is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up to ensure database work is cancellable or probe traffic is bounded. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Prisma Client 6 $queryRaw AbortSignal cancellation query timeout official documentation
💡 Result:
As of September 2, 2026, Prisma Client does not support the use of AbortSignal or AbortController for cancelling individual queries, including $queryRaw or $queryRawUnsafe [1][2][3]. There is no API to pass an abort signal to these methods, and Prisma Client does not currently implement built-in query cancellation [2][3]. While the community has requested this feature, it remains unimplemented as of Prisma 6 [1][2][3]. For managing query execution times, Prisma provides configuration options for timeouts within transaction settings and connection pool parameters, rather than per-query cancellation [4][5]. For example, you can configure timeouts in interactive transactions: const prisma = new PrismaClient({ transactionOptions: { timeout: 10000, // Maximum time an interactive transaction can run (default is 5s) }, }); Additionally, connection pool timeouts (such as acquire or connect timeouts) can be configured via the database connection URL or driver adapter settings [5]. However, these are general configuration settings and do not provide the dynamic, per-request cancellation capability offered by AbortSignal [4][5].

🌐 Web query:
MDN Promise.race does not cancel pending promises
💡 Result:
That is correct: Promise.race does not cancel any pending promises in the provided iterable [1][2][3]. When one of the promises in the iterable settles (either fulfills or rejects), the promise returned by Promise.race settles with the same value or reason [1][4]. However, this settlement does not exert any control over the other promises; they continue to execute until they finish their own asynchronous operations [5][6][7]. Key points regarding this behavior: - Resource Consumption: Because losing promises continue to run, they may keep resources such as network connections or timers active longer than necessary [1]. - No Automatic Cancellation: JavaScript promises themselves do not have a built-in mechanism for cancellation [5][3]. If you need to stop an operation (such as a fetch request or a timer), you must explicitly use appropriate APIs like AbortController for fetch or clear the timer using clearTimeout [1][7][3]. - Discarded Results: Promise.race simply ignores the results of any "losing" promises once the first promise has settled [1]. While it captures and discards these results—meaning you typically do not need to worry about unhandled rejections from them—the underlying side effects of those operations continue [1][8]. For use cases where you need to stop losing operations, the idiomatic approach is to use AbortController or similar manual cleanup logic [1][2][3].

Ensure the timeout cancels the database check. withTimeout aborts only delay(). When the timeout branch wins, Promise.race rejects, but db.$queryRaw\SELECT 1`can remain pending because Prisma does not support per-queryAbortSignal` cancellation. Repeated probes can therefore consume connection-pool capacity. Use a database statement timeout or another cancellation-capable query.

What
Adds two unauthenticated endpoints for container/orchestrator health checks:
GET /api/healthz— liveness check. Deliberately does not touch thedatabase or any other external dependency, only confirms the Next.js server
itself is responding. A broken/unreachable Postgres should not cause an
orchestrator to restart every replica in lockstep, so this stays
dependency-free on purpose.
GET /api/readyz— readiness check. Runs a boundedSELECT 1against thedatabase (3s timeout via
node:timers/promises) so a load balancer/ingresscan stop routing traffic to an instance while Postgres is unreachable,
without restarting the process. Recovers automatically once the DB is
reachable again.
Why
Running SplitPro on Kubernetes, I hit an issue where the app kept responding
on its HTTP port but every request failed because a pooled DB connection had
gone silently stale (no clean TCP close), and the app never recovered without
a manual pod restart. There was no endpoint to hook a
livenessProbe/readinessProbeinto that actually reflected that state, so I'm contributingone back instead of just working around it downstream.
Notes
are new, not a refactor of something existing.
healthzintentionally has no DB check — see the Kubernetes docs on whyliveness probes shouldn't depend on external services (cascading restarts
risk): https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/configure-liveness-readiness-startup-probes/
src/tests/healthz.test.ts,src/tests/readyz.test.ts), mocking~/server/dbfor the readiness case(success, DB error, and timeout).
