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, SNS, SQS, and Lambda makes, X-Ray a really important tool from an application performance management perspective...
