I’ve looked at https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/app-platform/references/app-specification-reference/ and seen that you can customise various timeouts/thresholds for the healthcheck, such as initial_delay_seconds, and timeout_seconds etc.
It would be useful to know what the defaults are for these variables - are these documented anywhere? I can’t seem to find that.

Hello,
The defaults for the service health checks are as follows:
initial_delay_seconds: 0
period_seconds: 10
timeout_seconds: 1
success_threshold: 1
failure_threshold: 9
Hope this helps.
We will update the app spec documentation soon.
