# Overview

> Public health check endpoint for monitoring RyzeAPI availability

The **Observability** module exposes a single endpoint, `GET /health`, for you to verify whether the API is healthy. It requires no authentication and bypasses rate limit and CORS, so external monitors can query it without credentials.

## Endpoint

  <Card title="Health" href="/en/api/observability/health">
    `GET /health`, combined probe (process + DB + optional dependencies like S3 when configured).
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## How to use

Point an **uptime monitor** (UptimeRobot, Better Stack, Pingdom, etc.) at `GET /health`:

* `200` → API healthy.
* `503` → API degraded, fire the alert.
