Distributed tracing for availability (AWS X-Ray)
A way to record and visualize requests across services so you can find where latency and failures reduce system availability.
"I can see a spike in errors, but which service and which downstream call actually caused the outage?"
Distributed tracing instruments requests with trace IDs and spans across services, collecting timing and error metadata so you can reconstruct slow or failing paths that affect availability.
