Integrations

Medicus offers two types of integrations, each designed to extend its functionality in unique ways.

Plugins

Plugins are used within Medicus’s plugins configuration option to enhance its capabilities for specific integrations:

• Pino: Integrates with the Pino logger to map error logging effectively.
• Node.js: Adds a Node.js health checker to monitor event loop lag and ensure runtime stability.
• OpenTelemetry: Enables OpenTelemetry support to trace health checks and capture failure diagnostics.

Third-Party Integrations

These integrations allow you to seamlessly connect Medicus with external libraries and frameworks:

• Avvio: Hooks Medicus into the Avvio lifecycle to initiate health checks after the server is ready.
• Fastify: Attaches Medicus to Fastify instance lifecycle hooks for streamlined integration.
