EdgeDB exposes HTTP endpoints to check for aliveness and readiness of your database instance. You can make GET requests to these endpoints to check the instance status.
Check that your instance is alive by making a request to
http://<hostname>:<port>/server/status/alive. If your instance is alive, it
will respond with a 200 status code and "OK" as the payload. Otherwise,
it will respond with a 50x or a network error.
