In one of my previous blog posts, I wrote about how to Extend logs in Node.js with unique trace ID. It is a great starting point to improve logging and tracing of your application. But... can it be upgraded to somehow connect the trace IDs into a usable diagram?

This is where AWS X-Ray can help. It generates its own unique trace ID, which you can send to AWS services or other microservices in your environment, and then collects the data. This allows it to show a map of all services that are used along with a lot of other important information.
