Enable optional tracing

The app collects traces in AWS X-Ray format and sends them to the tracing daemon at UDP/localhost:2000.

Make sure the xray daemon is running and the AWSXRayDaemonWriteAccess IAM role is assigned to your compute.

To see the traces, switch to the x-ray web console. Then, choose the right region in the top right corner.
