Status

This is just an alternative to using https://httpstat.us/

Background

As the alternative suffers from stability reason, I wanted to stop using it.

Why a service?

The service is needed for testing.

Server

Below we outline all the endpoints:

Status Code

Allows to set the status code of the response.

Request

GET /v1/status/{code}

Note

code is a number, e.g 200, 400, etc.

Parameter	Description
sleep	The duration to sleep please check out https://pkg.go.dev/time#ParseDuration

Response

The status with a description as text.

Example:

200 OK

Health

The system defines a way to monitor all of it's dependencies.

To configure we just need the have the following configuration:

health:
  duration: 1s (how often to check)
  timeout: 1s (when we should timeout the check)

Deployment

Since we are advocating building microservices, you would normally use a container orchestration system.
