I have an internal service which communicates with the main HTTP Server via AMQP (on an external RabbitMQ instance). It does not intentionally expose any TCP ports or intercept any HTTP requests.
How do I get this to pass the health check on App Platform?
I’ve configured it like so:
- name: my_internal_service
dockerfile_path: Dockerfile
source_dir: /
github:
branch: main
deploy_on_push: true
repo: <GITHUB>/<REPO>
instance_count: 1
instance_size_slug: basic-xxs
internal_ports: # won't need this anyway

Hi there,
I could suggest a couple of things here:
- Rather than deploying your app as a web service, you can deploy it as a Worker. Background workers are the same as HTTP services, except they are not “routable,” i.e. they are not accessible via an external URL:

- Create a heath check endpoint within your app that you could use for the health check details:
Hope that this helps!
Best,
Bobby
