tiny healthcheck library for akka-http with Kubernetes liveness/readiness probe support.

Installation

You need to activate sbt-bintray plugin first. And then, You will add it to your build by including these lines in your sbt file. Please refer to download badge above for the latest version.

resolvers += Resolver.bintrayRepo("everpeace","maven")
  
libraryDependencies += "com.github.everpeace" %% "healthchecks-core" % <version>
  
// when you want kubernetes liveness/readiness probe support.
libraryDependencies += "com.github.everpeace" %% "healthchecks-k8s-probes" % <version>

Getting Started

Simple healthcheck endpoint

All you need to give is just health check function returning cats ValidationNel[String, Unit].

  import akka.actor.ActorSystem
  import akka.stream.ActorMaterializer
  import akka.http.scaladsl.Http
  import akka.http.scaladsl.model.HttpRequest
  import cats.syntax.validated._
  import scala.concurrent.Future
  import scala.util.Random

  implicit val system       = ActorSystem()
  implicit val materializer = ActorMaterializer()
  implicit val ec           = system.dispatcher

  import com.github.everpeace.healthchecks._
  import com.github.everpeace.healthchecks.route._

  // defining sync/async healthchecks
  val simple = healthCheck(name = "simple") {
    if (Random.nextBoolean()) healthy else "Unlucky!".invalidNel
  }

  val simpleAsync = asyncHealthCheck("simpleAsync") {
    Future {
      if (Random.nextBoolean()) healthy else "Unlucky!".invalidNel
    }
  }

  // start web server listening "localhost:8888/health"
  val serverBinding = Http().bindAndHandle(
    handler = HealthCheckRoutes.health(simple, simpleAsync),
    interface = "localhost",
    port = 8888
  )

  val response = Http().singleRequest(HttpRequest(uri = "http://localhost:8888/health"))

  // status code is 200(OK) if healthy, 503(Service Unavailable) if unhealthy.
  // response body is empty by default for performance.
  // pass '?full=true' query parameter to see full check result as json. it would be similar to below.
  // Please see com.github.everpeace.healthchecks.HealthRoutesTest for various response patterns.
  // {
  //   "status": "healthy",
  //   "check_results": [
  //     { "name": "simple", "severity": "Fatal", "status": "healthy", "messages": [] },
  //     { "name": "simpleAsync", "severity": "Fatal", "status": "healthy", "messages": [] }
  //   ]
  // }

Kubernetes liveness/readiness probe endpoints

It supports to setup kubernetes liveness/readiness probe really easily like this. You con configure probe paths and binding setting by typesafe config (i.e. application.conf). Please refer reference.conf for details.

  import akka.actor.ActorSystem
  import akka.stream.ActorMaterializer
  import scala.concurrent.Future

  implicit val system       = ActorSystem()
  implicit val materializer = ActorMaterializer()
  implicit val ec           = system.dispatcher

  import com.github.everpeace.healthchecks._
  import com.github.everpeace.healthchecks.k8s._
  
  // by default, listening localhost:8086
  // and probe paths are
  //   GET /live
  //   GET /ready
  val probeBinding = bindAndHandleProbes(
    readinessProbe(healthCheck(name = "readiness_check")(healthy)),
    livenessProbe(asyncHealthCheck(name = "liveness_check")(Future(healthy)))
  )

Then you can set kubernetes liveness/readiness probe in the kubernetes manifest like below:

...
  livenessProbe:
    httpGet:
      path: /live
      port: 8086
    initialDelaySeconds: 3
    periodSeconds: 3
  readinessProbe:
    httpGet:
      path: /ready
      port: 8086
    initialDelaySeconds: 3
    periodSeconds: 3
...
