Connect middleware for checking if app is alive or not – optionally via custom condition(s).

  $ npm install connect-alive

Minimal:

  connect.createServer(
    alive()
  );

Advanced:

  connect.createServer(
    alive(function() {
      // Check that you got all horses/unicorns in the stable...or something.
      var got_all_horses = parseInt(process.env.HORSES_IN_THE_STABLE) == 5;

      return got_all_horses;
    })
  );

  GET /alive?
