Ping/HealthCheck endpoint needed.

[yakuter]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
We don't know if the server is running. We need a public (excluded from auth) endpoint to check server status. Then we can use uptimerobot and check the server status regularly.

Describe the solution you'd like

We need an endpoint which only returns 200 with a GET method. It should be /ping, /health or /health-check. We can search for best practice about it.

For a better health check, this endpoint can check if postgres or mysql is running and db connection is fine.

Additional context
Does anyone want to work on this?

I can take it 👋🏻
Would it be sufficient to return something like this ; (assumes that mysql service is used, postgres not used )

{
	"service": {
		"status": "OK",
		"statusCode": "200",
		"error": "N/A"
	},
	"postgres": {
		"status": "N/A",
		"statusCode": "N/A",
		"error": "N/A"
	},
	"mysql": {
		"status": "OK",
		"statusCode": "200",
		"error": "N/A"
	}
}

This (https://github.com/AppsFlyer/go-sundheit) can be used or can be implemented natively it depends how many services will be included in the future. Of course, there might be a drawback of using external library every time (-it may blow up the binary which is generated at the end.-).

	"mysql": {
		"status": "OK",
		"statusCode": "200",
		"error": "N/A"
	}
}

We can remove "status" lines. Just status_code and error is fine. Also I think we don't need external lib for this job. Can I assign you with this?

[mrtrkmn]

Yeah, I think so as well. As I mentioned importing libraries can blow up binary, no need to import it.
is this urgent ? btw

[yakuter]

No not urgent. Anytime is fine.
