Context

I'm using Neon for serverless postgres, and I don't want pgbackweb to wake up my db every 10mn, I chose Neon specifically to scale to zero.
My need is to disable healthchecks, or maybe set it to "every hour" for example.

Another use case would be to reduce the time interval (for like 1mn) for sensible production environments monitoring.

Suggested Stories

From (what seems) the easiest to the hardest to implement :

As a sysadmin,
I want to be able to set an environment variable (like HEALTHCHECK_ACTIVE)
in order to enable/disable healthchecks
