Yeah, they’d have to exist but it would be for quite a different purpose. I wonder if that would mean we could implement them in different ways, e.g have a health check service that everything pings and if a ping isn’t received for N minutes, assume it’s dead and trigger some replacement routine or alert.

This begins to look a lot more like a software watchdog at that point, and you can even have each service provide a count of outstanding/processed requests per tick and if a server never gets outstanding or processed requests you could have the watchdog kill it off.
