AWS X-Ray is a method of collecting data about the work going on within a distributed application to identify performance issues and execution errors.

When execution errors happen in obscure cases, X-Ray can help identify those cases by providing a consolidated trace of each execution. This is invaluable in a distributed, event-driven or serverless application.
