First proxy
Health and readiness
Use /health and /ready to know when the Proxy is safe to receive traffic.
Goal
Distinguish liveness from configuration readiness on the data plane.
Endpoints
| Endpoint | Meaning |
|---|---|
GET /health |
Process is up |
GET /ready |
Runtime config loaded (reports configVersion) |
If no snapshot is loaded and DataPlane:AllowEmptyConfig is false, /ready returns 503.
Steps
- Call
/healthon Api and Proxy. - Call
/readyon Proxy after publish. - Confirm the version matches Config → Active / Versions in the console.
Kubernetes / Compose tip
Point readiness probes at /ready, not only /health, so traffic waits for config.
Verify
A successful ready response after publish completes your first-proxy path.
