Seriously though, thank you for emphasizing the liveness probe vs. readiness probe distinction. I canβt tell you how many cascading failures I've seen because a liveness probe was pointing to a database health check, triggering a massive restart storm when the DB sneezed. Keeping the liveness probe strictly local to the runtime is an elite-tier tip that every K8s engineer needs to memorize.
