Top tip - Health Checks
Whether your site is a DXP or an Azure-hosted site, you may need to determine the state of your application as if it's healthy or unhealthy. EPiServer.Cms.HealthCheck will provide you an endpoint as /epi/health, The Blog (https://world.optimizely.com/blogs/scott-reed/dates/2023/3/optimizely-dxp-health-checks-and-creating-custom-checks/) by Scott Reed explains this setup for CMS 12 in detail. It doesn't limit us to service health only, Service can be extended for many other scenarios such as listing the vulnerabilities, and checking up on some configurations or DB table sizes. The blog is a bit old but still worth reading (https://www.codeart.dk/blog/2021/5/new-project-optimizely-episerver-health-checker/).

100% it's amazing how limited understanding about the healthcheck endpoint is in DXP/Azure but facinating how it all works. Thanks for the callout :-) Happy new Year
I just stumbled on this endpoint. Why isn't this advertised more?
