Setup Visual Studio Code as your IDE to build and deploy an AWS SAM stack using Go. I recently started to experiment with Go and the best way to learn is to play with it and build something. So I decided to build a simple application. During this process I ran into the problem that my IDE did not like having many go modules within one project.

You can search across log groups by setting up a correlation id on your log lines. You can then use CloudWatch Logs Insights to query all related log messages. If you are dealing with different lambda functions in a project, you might not have a logging system yet. Finding and troubleshooting using Cloudwatch Logs could become cumbersome. Especially if you try to track a flow through the different log groups. In CloudWatch Logs Insights you can execute queries across log groups. In our case we want to collect related log lines across log groups. To achieve this we need to annotate the log lines with a correlation_id that ties them together.
