AWS re:Invent 2018: AWS X-Ray Distributed Tracing with HAProxy Enterprise (DEM81)

Published on Dec 13, 2018

You’ve surely noticed a unique problem when taking your applications to the cloud: the need to find modern ways to observe your traffic. Today’s applications, especially those designed as microservices, are composed of a score of distributed services. We need to seek out new tools for observing and troubleshooting them. AWS provides a distributed tracing framework called AWS X-Ray that enables you to visualize how requests flow through your cloud infrastructure. In this talk, we demonstrate how your HAProxy Enterprise load balancer can send traces to X-Ray so you get a full and accurate picture of your distributed architecture. This presentation is brought to you by AWS partner, HAProxy Technologies.
