# Which Problems Are Solved
When Postgres was not ready when the API was started, the API failed
immediately.
This made task orchestration hard, especially in a platform agnostic
way:
- The current health check in the Nx target `@zitadel/api:prod` uses the
timeout command, which is not installed on all platforms and behaves
unpredictably
- The current health check in the Nx target `@zitadel/api:prod` requires
the DB to have been started using `@zitadel/zitadel:db`
# How the Problems Are Solved
- Additional configuration option `Database.Postgres.AwaitInitialConn`
is added and defaults to *0m* for backwards compatibility.
- If a duration is configured, the API retries to ping the database
until it succeeds
- The API sleeps for a second between each ping.
- It emits an info-level log with the error on each try.
- When the configured duration times out before the ping is successful,
the error is returned and the command exits with a failure code.
- When the ping succeeds within the configured duration, the API goes on
with the init, setup or start phase.
# Additional Context
- Relates to internally reported problems with the current DB health
check command
