| For security reasons, the **index page is not served in production** by default in both [Node.js](../node.js/cds-server#toggle-generic-index-page) and [Java](../java/developing-applications/configuring#production-profile). | ||
| If you try to access your backend URL, you will therefore see a _404 Cannot GET /_ error. | ||
| This also means you **cannot use the `/` path as a health status indicator**. See the [Health Checks guide](../guides/deployment/health-checks) for the correct paths. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
@sjvans I have added a note on the health status checks. Please augment if needed.
