Conclusion

Congratuations on finishing the lab. You have seen how we complement auto-instrumentation with manual steps to force Producer function’s context to be sent to Consumer function via a Record put on a Kinesis stream. This allowed us to build the expected Distributed Trace.

You can now build out a Trace manually by linking two different functions together. This is very powerful when your auto-instrumenation, or third-party systems, do not support context propagation out of the box.
