Use AppSync Logging and AWS X-Ray to Debug Performance Issues

What do we do when one of our GraphQL query functions is running slow? Where do we start figuring out the problem?

Enabling all logs with AppSync and setting up X-Ray gives you a powerful bug hunting combination. You can use the logs to find your request logs and a trace ID that you can use with X-Ray to see a graph of your requests.

From there you can see exactly which request is having issues and investigate it further!
