AWS X-Ray
AWS X-Ray
X-Ray provides a visual illustration of your services.
It's a service map that shows success or failure.
You can enable X-Ray for Lambda, API Gateway, and Amazon SNS with a single click.
You may also enable it for SQS queues that are not Lambda event sources.
AWS X-Ray Instrumentations
Using the X-Ray SDK, you may add custom instrumentation to your function.
Instrumentation is the capacity to track performance, identify faults, and write trace data.
Traces are written to X-Ray by services that enable active instrumentation.
Passive instrumentation is used to handle requests sampled by another service.
Services that allow passive instrumentation cannot produce traces, but they can contribute data to them.
All runtimes support active and passive instrumentation of incoming requests through Lambda.
AWS Lambda adds two new nodes to your service map: service and function.
