AWS X-Ray was first introduced during AWS re:Invent 2016 as a tool that would enable developers to debug their distributed applications by analyzing and tracing the calls that occur between the application and its various components. By analyzing this performance, you can easily isolate and remediate issues caused either due to bottlenecks or errors. The best part of X-Ray is its ability to work with a wide variety of applications and services; for example, your application maybe running on a single EC2 instance or it might even be a highly distributed application containing thousands of Lambda functions! X-Ray can easily get integrated with your code; whether it is written in Node.js, .NET, or Java, and start providing performance metrics for the same. This, along with the support for tracing requests from services such as EC2, ECS, Beanstalk, DynamoDB...

Overview of this book
AWS is recognized as one of the biggest market leaders for cloud computing and why not? It has evolved a lot since the time it started out by providing just basic services such as EC2 and S3 and today; they go all the way from IoT to Machine Learning, Image recognition, Chatbot Frameworks, and much more! One of those recent services that is also gaining a lot of traction is AWS Lambda! Although seemingly simple and easy to use, Lambda is a highly effective and scalable compute service that provides developers with a powerful platform to design and develop Serverless event-driven systems and applications.
The book begins with a high-level introduction into the world of Serverless computing and its advantages and use cases, followed by a deep dive into AWS Lambda! You’ll learn what services AWS Lambda provides to developers; how to design, write, and test Lambda functions; as well as monitor and troubleshoot them. The book is designed and accompanied with a vast variety of real-world examples, use cases, and code samples that will enable you to get started on your Serverless applications quickly.
By the end of the book, you will have gained all the skills required to work with AWS Lambda services!
