implement-infrastructure-health-checks

What problem does it solve?

This skill provides automated, lightweight health checks for databases, caches, external APIs, and file systems to detect degraded infrastructure before failures occur.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Lightweight per-dependency checks (SELECT 1, GET/SET) to avoid production impact
• Parallel health checks with short timeouts
• Health state reporting (UP, DEGRADED, DOWN) with per-dependency details
• Result caching for 30-60 seconds to prevent stampedes and reduce load
• Separate health-check connections to avoid exhausting production pools

Quick Start

Run the InfrastructureHealthCheck service to perform a lightweight, parallel health assessment across databases, caches, APIs, and the file system with results cached for 30-60 seconds.
