Yeah, you definitely want one that's cheaper than /topics. The root resource / is effectively a nop you can check for liveness of the service (but not for, e.g., more general health like connectivity to ZK or Kafka). The most it will ever do is return a list of available subresources, so it should always be a cheap way to check liveness.
