Express Database Checker

This is a dummy web service that display whether or not it has successfully connected to a database. I use it to test cloud deployment configuration, e.g. AWS. The serving port is 80 with http.

Usage

  1. $ npm install
  2. $ npm start

The database connection information should be provided by environment variables.

For example:

DATABASE_HOST=localhost
DATABASE_NAME=my_database
DATABASE_USERNAME=billykong
DATABASE_PASSWORD=xxxxxx
DATABASE_DIALECT=postgres # optional: default is postgres
DATABASE_PORT=5432 # optional: default is 5432
DATABASE_TIMEOUT=3000 # optional: default is 3000ms
