Introducing a ping feature into Saasmake enables you perform a simple and reliable sanity check to confirm your SaaS app is both reachable and responding.

ping is a simple well-known command line utility used by network administrators to determine whether a remote machine is reachable.

It is a key tool in the devops toolbox.

Saasmake ping provides a similar utility. Use it to determine if your custom Saasmake app is both reachable and responding.

Using Saasmake ping couldn't be simpler.

Saasmake ping is hosted on your app's domain at /.saasmake/ping.

So if your app is hosted on app.example.com then ping will be be available at app.example.com/.saasmake/ping.

You can test this by visiting the url in your browser:

https://<app-domain>/.saasmake/ping

Or you use a tool like curl etc.

curl https://<app-domain>/.saasmake/ping

Saasmake ping returns the following JSON data for EVERY request:

{ "ping": "pong" }

Simple! 💪
