Health checker gets the information for the desired services passed as Checkers in addition to environment information.
## Installation

by adding `btrz_ex_health_checker` to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`:
```elixir
def deps do
[
{:btrz_ex_health_checker, "~> 0.2.0"}
]
end
```
## Usage
```elixir

%BtrzHealthchecker.Info{build: "d3b3f9133f68b8877347e06b3d7285dd1d5d3921", commit: "3d7285dd1d5d3921d3b3f9133f68b8877347e06b",

## Postgres checker
You can use the pre-defined BtrzHealthchecker.Checkers.Postgres
## Create your custom checkers
You can create and pass your own checkers using the Checker behavour, implementing `check_status/1` and `name/0`.
```elixir
defmodule MyApp.CustomChecker do
@behaviour BtrzHealthchecker.Checker
def name, do: "my_service"
def check_status(opts) do
// checking code here...
200
end
end
```
