I don't know how you can get a 308. Is the request going through a proxy or something else?

Here's the list of /api/status return codes (table 8):

If you are getting a different HTTP status code, please submit a bug report with replication steps and your FusionAuth version: https://github.com/fusionauth/fusionauth-issues/issues

If my fusionauth does not boot correctly, for example when the db is not reachable /api/status returns a 308 instead of a 500

It will return a status code when you (or your application load balancer, CDN or other software system) makes a GET request on <faurl>/api/status. It'll either be a 200 if things are all good or a 500 if there are any issues with the system.

It's documented more fully here: https://fusionauth.io/docs/v1/tech/apis/system#system-status

Note that this endpoint is not currently supported by the client libraries, but is just a curl away.
