# Check HTTP Server and Database Status

`GET /health/ready`

This endpoint returns a HTTP 200 status code when Ory Hydra is up running and the environment dependencies (e.g.
the database) are responsive as well.

If the service supports TLS Edge Termination, this endpoint does not require the
`X-Forwarded-Proto` header to be set.

Be aware that if you are running multiple nodes of Ory Hydra, the health status will never
refer to the cluster state, only to a single instance.

## Response `200`

Ory Hydra is ready to accept requests.

- IsReady200Response
  - `status` string — Always "ok".

## Other responses

- `503` — Ory Kratos is not yet ready to accept requests.
