Hey, I did the checks on external systems and artifact-stores. What would be a sensible approach to regularly check them? Any idea about a timer/scheduler?

from bob.

and what should happen if the health-checks fail? only logging?
update: well you wrote that it should log... so that will be it, then...

from bob.

Yeah lets just log it for now, as it will fail appropriately at runtime if
somethings wrong.

from bob.

I am currently not mixing the heartbeats for artifacts and resources with the essential checks for db and docker. what do you think?
Should I start the heartbeats with a state?

from bob.

the external checks and essential checks should happen when a request is made on /can-we-build-it provided there is some external things registered.

yes, starting the cron on a mount state would be a nice way to go
