Real quotes from Reddit comments that inspired this opportunity

  • “not thinking they're valuable is a side effect of too many people not creating them well”
  • “Health checks in docker dont mean everything is okay...it just means the car has gas in it and the engines started”
  • “The proper way to health check a service is dependent on the service”
  • “containers that were “running” but internally deadlocked, lost db connectivity, or had reverse proxies silently failing”
  • “the container could be running but if it's not healthy then it might not actually be working”
