HTTP status code

HTTP status code is a number returned by a server in response to a client's request. It indicates whether a specific HTTP request has been successfully completed, and if not, provides information about the error.

How to use it in a sentence

  • I pushed my code changes to production without testing and now the site is returning HTTP status code 500 errors. Guess I'll be spending my weekend debugging this mess instead of playing Elden Ring.

  • When I tried to access the new microservice endpoint, I got an HTTP status code 404. Maybe the DevOps team forgot to update the load balancer configuration again.

We evaluated Optimizely, LaunchDarkly, Split, and Eppo, but ultimately selected Statsig due to its comprehensive end-to-end integration. We wanted a complete solution rather than a partial one, including everything from the stats engine to data ingestion.
