[FEATURE REQUEST] - Add Health Check Endpoint

[rishyym0927]

🚀 Overview

The backend currently lacks a health check endpoint. Adding a /health endpoint will allow monitoring tools and developers to check if the application is running and if the database connection is healthy.

🛠 Use Case

• Helps in monitoring the application's uptime.
• Enables automated health checks for load balancers and orchestrators.
• Allows developers to quickly diagnose issues with the backend or database.

📊 Expected Behavior

• Create a new file healthCheck.go in the controllers folder.
• Implement a handler function that:
  • Returns 200 OK if the application is running.
  • Uses DB.Ping() to check the database connection and includes the result in the response.
• Add a /health route in the router.
• Test the endpoint using Postman or curl.

🛠 Skills Required

• Go programming
• HTTP routing in Go
• Database connection handling
