Health checks as code with a generated status page and alerting

Lightship reads a declarative list of endpoints and conditions — status, latency, body content, certificate validity — checks them on schedule, and renders the results as a shareable status page.

Worth knowing before you commit:

  • Config-as-code makes checks reviewable and version-controlled.
  • Conditions can assert on response internals, not just up/down.
  • Single binary; runs comfortably next to what it watches.

For teams who want their uptime checks in the same PR as the deploy.
