GET /health — Check the NaijaTaste API health

Check whether the NaijaTaste API is running and reachable. Returns a simple status object. Also accepts HEAD requests for lightweight uptime monitoring.

The /health endpoint confirms that the NaijaTaste API is up and accepting requests. It returns a minimal JSON object when the service is healthy. This endpoint is suitable for use in uptime monitors, load balancer health checks, and CI pipelines. It also supports HEAD requests, so you can verify reachability without receiving a response body.
