I am building a micro-service using Ratpack. I have a basic understanding of how requests are routed using chaining in ratpack. But what I can't understand is how my server responds to the "/buildinfo" and "/health" requests when I haven't defined any handler for these.
I want to know how I can modify and send some data which I want to as a response to these requests.
It's an inbuilt feature.
Ratpack does provide the HealthCheck interface which you can implement and write your own handler and override the check method to return your desired response when you call /health. You will need to add your new handler to your registry.
This article provides a good explanation and example https://blog.mrhaki.com/2015/11/ratpacked-add-health-checks.html
