| :::warning Health Checks: Default State & Best Practices | ||
| Health Checks are disabled by default to simplify the initial testing and integration of your Game Server SDK. | ||
| However, for production usage, it is recommended that they be enabled. If Health Checks remain disabled in a live environment, game servers that enter an unresponsive or "frozen" state cannot be automatically detected or cleaned up by the platform, leading to potential matchmaking failures. |

might also add that we don't make any promises as to lifecycle handling of such game servers without health checks during maintenances; game servers without proper integration may be evicted at a moment's notice during maintenance.
