hello-server

A small Go HTTP server for testing and experimentation. It handles graceful shutdown on SIGTERM/SIGINT and exposes the following endpoints:

Endpoint	Description
GET /	Welcome message with usage hints
GET /hello/{name}	Returns Hello, {name}!
GET /slow?seconds=N	Responds after a delay (default 5s, max 10s)
GET /healthz	Liveness probe — fails for 10 min every 30 min after startup
GET /ready	Readiness probe — returns ready 2 min after startup

The periodic health failures and delayed readiness are intentional, making this useful for testing Kubernetes probe behavior and rollout strategies.
