Missing Health Check Endpoints in All Microservices - Team 065

[Shubhp0712]

Description

The architecture diagram in README.md documents /health endpoints for all three microservices (order_service, product_service, user_service), but these endpoints are not implemented in the actual code.

Current Behavior

• Calling GET /health on any service returns 404 Not Found
• No health check endpoints exist in app.py files

Expected Behavior

Each service should respond to GET /health with:

• Status code: 200 OK
• JSON response indicating service health and database connectivity

Location

• user_service/app.py
• product_service/app.py
• order_service/app.py

Impact

• Cannot use health checks for container orchestration
• Documentation-code inconsistency
• Missing critical production feature

Suggested Solution

Implement /health endpoint in each service that:

1. Returns 200 OK if service is healthy
2. Checks database connectivity
3. Returns appropriate JSON response
