What You'll Do
Prevent catastrophic outages by explicitly pinging active health endpoints before Kubernetes assigns massive traffic to a pod.
By completing this task, you will:
- Understand the architecture and implementation patterns behind readiness & liveness probes
- Write clean, modular, production-ready code following industry conventions
- Debug complex issues using browser dev tools, logs, and systematic reasoning
- Ship a polished, working feature that you can showcase in your portfolio

Approach Guide
Read & Plan
Read the full description of "Readiness & Liveness Probes" above. Before writing any code, sketch out the architecture — list the files you'll create and the data flow between them.
Build Incrementally
Break this task into smaller milestones. Get the simplest version working first, then layer on complexity. Run your code after every meaningful change.
Use the AI Mentor
If you're stuck, use the raxlearn AI Mentor above. It has full context on this task and can explain concepts, review your approach, or help you debug errors.
Validate & Refine
Test edge cases manually. Check the browser console for warnings. Clean up your code, add comments to non-obvious logic, and ensure it matches the requirements.
