Core concepts
Operations and cluster health
Health checks, readiness, and quorum-related environment variables.
HTTP health endpoints
GET /healthz— process liveness only.GET /readyz— quorum-aware readiness; returns success only when cluster quorum expectations are met.GET /api/health— JSON payload describing the local node and connected cluster members.
Quorum environment variables
The Elixir README documents the required and optional variables:
TOTAL_NODES— required positive integer describing how many nodes participate in quorum math.QUORUM_POLL_INTERVAL_MS— optional polling interval (defaults to2000).QUORUM_GRACE_MS— optional grace window (defaults to20000) before a hard stop when quorum is lost.
During development, TOTAL_NODES=1 is usually enough to keep readiness checks intuitive on a laptop.
