- Uploaded images on disk are wiped on deploy, while database-backed guestbook entries are presented as a persistence check.
Field notes
The listed checks cover health JSON, runtime information, request headers and proxy details, status codes, redirects, and payload sizes. For persistence, the page contrasts uploaded images on disk—which it says are wiped on deploy—with guestbook entries stored in the database; the boot log records a database row per process start. Environment-variable, outbound-fetch, filesystem, log-flooding, crash, and load features are marked as login-gated.
