healthcheck-dotnet-mssql

What problem does it solve?

This skill eliminates the need for manual configuration of SQL Server connectivity probes in .NET application health check endpoints, ensuring traffic is only routed to instances that can successfully access the primary database.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Standard Health Check Integration: Registers a SQL Server readiness check using the official AspNetCore.HealthChecks.SqlServer library, compatible with the Jarvis framework's health check pipeline.
• Lightweight Connectivity Probe: Uses a simple SELECT 1 query to verify database accessibility without adding performance overhead.
• Use Case: For a .NET 9 backend built with the Jarvis framework, this skill adds a SQL Server readiness check to the /health/ready endpoint, so load balancers and orchestration platforms only send traffic to instances with active database connections.

Quick Start

Use the healthcheck-dotnet-mssql skill to add a SQL Server readiness probe to your .NET application's health check configuration using your pre-configured main database connection string.
