Answer
Use built-in health checks:
services.AddHealthChecks();
Expose /health endpoint to monitor DB, disk, and external services.
Quick Answer
Health checks: AddHealthChecks() in services, MapHealthChecks("/health") to expose. Add checks for DB (AddDbContextCheck()), Redis (AddRedis()), and custom checks. Separate /health/live (is the process running) from /health/ready (is it ready for traffic). Kubernetes uses liveness and readiness probes against these endpoints. Return 200 (healthy), 503 (unhealthy).
