Technical Evaluation

Architecture fit: govigilant/statamic-healthchecks is a Statamic add-on for exposing application health checks in a Laravel/Statamic stack. Release 1.1.0 adds Statamic 6 support, which improves fit for teams standardizing on the latest Statamic major and removes a likely upgrade blocker.
Integration feasibility: Feasible for Statamic-based Laravel applications via Composer. A TPM should scope installation, configuration publishing, route exposure, and integration with uptime monitoring, load balancers, or Kubernetes probes. Confirm the exact healthcheck endpoint, response contract, and authentication model.
Technical risk: Low-to-moderate. The release is primarily a compatibility update, but supporting a new Statamic major can change service-provider behavior, dependency constraints, and route registration. Risk increases if production apps are still on older Statamic/Laravel/PHP combinations.
Key questions:
- Which Laravel and PHP versions are supported alongside Statamic 6?
- Does 1.1.0 change endpoint behavior, response format, configuration, or authentication?
- Is 1.0.x still suitable for Statamic 5, and what is the supported version matrix?
- Which health checks are included, and can they be customized or disabled?
- Is the healthcheck endpoint intended for public exposure or internal monitoring only?

Integration Approach

Stack fit: Best suited to Laravel applications using Statamic. Teams should evaluate it specifically for Statamic 6 compatibility; non-Statamic Laravel apps may need a different healthcheck package.
Migration path: For existing 1.0.0 users, update via Composer, review the changelog, and validate the healthcheck endpoint in staging before production. For Statamic 5-to-6 upgrades, upgrade Statamic/Laravel/PHP dependencies first, then adopt 1.1.0 and verify add-on registration.
Compatibility: 1.1.0 explicitly targets Statamic 6. Confirm Laravel/PHP compatibility, Composer constraints, and whether Statamic 5 remains supported in the same release line. Pin versions where necessary and document the supported matrix.
Sequencing:
1. Inventory affected Statamic applications and current package versions.
2. Validate 1.1.0 in a staging environment with the target Statamic 6 stack.
3. Confirm healthcheck route, auth, and response behavior.
4. Update monitoring probes and alerting configuration.
5. Roll out canary or low-risk app first, then expand.
6. Keep rollback instructions and prior Composer lock state available.

Maintenance: Likely low. The package is small and this release is a compatibility update. Ongoing maintenance is mainly tracking Statamic/Laravel major releases, Composer constraints, and upstream add-on changes.
Support: Open-source support model should be confirmed. The TPM should identify internal ownership for endpoint configuration, monitoring integration, and incident response if healthchecks fail.
Scaling: Healthcheck endpoints are typically lightweight and can be called frequently by monitoring systems. Avoid expensive dependency checks in the critical path, and ensure probes have sensible timeouts and rate expectations.
Failure modes: Risks include false negatives from downstream dependency checks, accidental public exposure of healthcheck details, version-mismatch boot failures, route conflicts, and alert storms if monitoring is misconfigured. Define expected responses and escalation paths.
Ramp-up: Low for teams already familiar with Laravel and Statamic. Ramp-up should cover Statamic add-on installation, Composer version pinning, monitoring probe configuration, and security expectations for the endpoint.
