I've been tasked with adding telemetry to an AWS based service at work:
CLI -> Web API Gateway -> Lambda returning a signed S3 URL
S3 upload -> SQS -> Lambda which writes to S3 and updates a Dynamo record -> CLI polls for changes
This flow isn't only over HTTP and relies on AWS to fire events. I worked around this by embedding the trace ID into the signed URL metadata. It doesn't look like this is possible with all AWS services.
I wonder if X-Ray can help here?
It can also be tedious to initialize spans everywhere. Aspects could help a lot here and orchestrion [0] is a good example of how it could be done in Go. I haven't found an OTEL equivalent yet (though haven't looked hard).
