-ExpressJS Sample Application
+This is a sample starter project that provides you with a basic Express app and a sample test in a `/test` sub directory. This sample project uses `Express v4.17.x` and enables health checking and application metrics out of the box. You can override or enhance the following endpoints by configuring your own health checks in your application.
 
-# Developer Workspace
-[![Contribute](http://beta.codenvy.com/factory/resources/codenvy-contribute.svg)](http://beta.codenvy.com/f?id=r8et9w6vohmqvro8)
+## Health checking
 
-# Stack to use
+Health-checking enables the cloud platform to determine the `readiness` and `liveness` of your application.
 
-FROM [codenvy/node](https://hub.docker.com/r/codenvy/node/)
+ These endpoints will be available for you to use:
 
-# How to run
+- Readiness endpoint: http://localhost:3000/ready
+- Liveness endpoint: http://localhost:3000/live
 
-| #       | Description           | Command  |
-| :------------- |:-------------| :-----|
-| 1      | Run | `cd ${current.project.path}/app && node app.js` |
+## Application metrics
+
+The [prom-client](https://www.npmjs.com/package/prom-client) module will collect a wide range of resource-centric (CPU, memory) and application-centric (HTTP request responsiveness) metrics from your application, and then expose them as multi-dimensional time-series data through an application endpoint for Prometheus to scrape and aggregate.
+
+ This endpoints will be available for you to use:
+
+- Metrics endpoint: http://localhost:3000/metrics
