PR #687 adds a startup check so container deployments wait for Postgres before starting Express. Without this, the app may start before the database is ready and fail on first request.

Steps:

  1. Check out PR #687 branch
  2. Verify the startup check retries database connection with backoff
  3. Confirm it has a reasonable timeout (30-60s) before failing
  4. Check it works with the DATABASE_URL env var format
  5. Run tests: npm test
  6. Verify server doesn't listen on HTTP port until DB is confirmed ready

Acceptance criteria:

  • App retries DB connection on startup with exponential backoff
  • Reasonable max retry count/timeout
  • HTTP server only binds port after DB connection confirmed
  • Tests pass
  • No startup race condition remains
