Distributed tracing
Microservices often work together to handle requests. AWS X-Ray uses correlation IDs to
track requests across these services. X-Ray works with Amazon EC2, Amazon ECS, Lambda, and Elastic Beanstalk.
AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry is part of the OpenTelemetry project and provides
open-source APIs and agents to gather distributed traces and metrics, improving your
application monitoring. It sends metrics and traces to multiple AWS and partner monitoring
solutions. By collecting metadata from your AWS resources, it aligns application performance
with the underlying infrastructure data, accelerating problem-solving. Plus, it's compatible
with a variety of AWS services and can be used on-premises.
