In this post, we will make use of other specifications, like mpHealth, mpOpenAPI, and mpMetrics, you can either checkout the source code from branch post-1 and code along or can refer to the final code in branch post-2. mpHealth The specification of the used version can be found here , this feature provides a way to check the overall health of an application.

Intended audience: Developers Read time : 30 min Requirement : A reusable component required to record and retrieve consents for minors  In nutshell, we required an independently deployable service to record and query consent for a minor to or from a DB which would later be consumed in registration and other app access requests.
