title: Best practices to diagnose a object storage health check
body: <p>I'm programming a health-check for a microservice that relies in a object storage (minio).</p>
  <p>My approach to diagnose if the object-storage is healthy is to call: <code>bucketExists</code> function, validating that the bucket exists and I have stable connection to it.</p>
  <p>Since is checked every 1 second I need this call to be efficient and have a light workload. Here are the functions that minio have: <a href="https://docs.min.io/docs/javascript-client-api-reference.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Minio Javascript SDK</a></p>
  <p>My question is: Is correct to use this function as a health-check? There is a best practice way to do this?</p>
  <p>Thanks in advance for reading my question :-)</p>
