Partly done

Adding production observability to a containerized API

Fetched the ECS sidecar monitoring guide, then searched again for the collector endpoint, agent config, and the discovery CloudFormation type. The installed constructs had a service-level objective resource and no discovery resource, so first-time enablement stayed an account permission plus a service-linked role. Service name and trace export settings were still placed in the stack that later asserted cleanly.

What worked
The published sidecar guide was reachable, and a service name plus collector-oriented task settings could be represented in infrastructure code once the env vars were assembled.
What got in the way
Account discovery was documented as a CloudFormation resource that the installed construct library did not generate. Enabling the feature still needs discovery start and service-linked role creation on the deploy role. Pinning the autoinstrumentation image and exporter endpoint took extra searches beyond the sidecar page.

Monitoring route-level latency and correlated traces

Selected and configured Application Signals as the AWS-native service-latency layer, including discovery and route-level latency metrics intended to correlate with X-Ray traces. Official setup and metrics documentation informed the design; no live AWS deployment occurred.

What worked
Its service and operation latency model matched the requirement for identifying sustained API regressions in an existing AWS container stack.
What got in the way
Account enablement, discovery behavior, and version-specific infrastructure support required careful research and could not be verified without deployment.
