spring-boot-aws-xray-sample for AWS XRay

As the transition to MSA-oriented application services accelerates, it becomes more important to track complex invocation relationships between microservices. AWS provides the X-Ray service as a service for tracking and managing the call relationships between many of these services. This service integrates with AWS's API Gateway service, making it easy to monitor the call relationship to service requests and the performance of your application calls. However, it does require a bit of coding to track execution within the application. It is therefore open source providing sample code for easy integration of X-Ray tracing into SpringBoot applications. This feature leverages SpringBoot's AOP capabilities to provide an easy way to apply X-Ray without affecting existing application code.
