Render requires an HTTP endpoint it can poll to determine service availability. The app did not expose a dedicated health-check route, so platform health monitoring could not be configured reliably.

  • Server health-check route

    • Added a minimal Express endpoint at GET /health in server.js.
    • Returns HTTP 200 with a lightweight OK response body for periodic Render probes.
  • Deployment documentation update

    • Updated the README deployment section to specify the Render health check path as /health.
app.get('/health', (req, res) => {
    res.status(200).send('OK');
});
