AWS X-Ray overview

What is AWS X-Ray?

AWS X-Ray is a distributed tracing platform designed to help businesses debug and analyze production and distributed applications, track performance, and identify root causes for service issues or errors. Professionals can view requests, access a map of an application's underlying components, and visualize node or edge latency distribution for services according to requirements.

The system traces user requests, pinpoints performance issues, and utilizes annotations to append metadata and filter or tag trace data to diagnose and discover patterns. AWS X-Ray supports applications written in various programming languages including .NET, Node.js, and Java.

Using AWS X-Ray, businesses can also filter and view data for traces based on properties such as average latencies, HTTP response status, annotation value, timestamp, used database tables, and more.
