    Implement AWS X-Ray by deploying the X-Ray daemon to the EKS cluster and instrumenting the application code.
    AWS X-Ray is a distributed tracing system. It helps developers analyze and debug production, distributed applications, such as those built using a microservices architecture. It provides a service map showing latencies and error rates between services.

    Common mistakes

    Confusing VPC Flow Logs (network layer) with distributed tracing (application layer).
