+# Health checks and liveness probes
+
+All services in eoAPI have endpoints for basic health checks. 
+The deployment template includes instructions for these checks to get pinged on a regular basis - look for `livenessProbe` 
+in https://github.com/developmentseed/eoapi-k8s/blob/main/helm-chart/eoapi/templates/services/deployment.yaml
+
+If you are using the default ingress setup, the health endpoints are:
+
+* Raster API: `/raster/healthz`, success: returns status code 200, no auth
+* Vector API: `/vector/healthz`, success: returns status code 200, no auth
+* STAC API: `/stac/_mgmt/ping`, sucess: returns status code 200, no auth
