Published on Nov 29, 2017
Analyzing and debugging production distributed applications built using a service oriented, microservices, or serverless architectures is a challenging task. In this session, we introduce AWS X-Ray, an AWS service that makes it easier to identify performance bottlenecks and errors, pinpoint issues to specific services in your application, identify the impact of issues on application users, and visualize the service call graph and the request timelines for your applications. We will also showcase a customer, Chick-fil-A and how they have adopted AWS X-Ray to play a role throughout the microservice lifecycle in order to ensure quality, transparency, and operational visibility for their services on AWS
