AWS Network Path Tracing
A Go service that turns 30–60 minutes of manual AWS route investigation into minutes.
Professional case study
30–60 minutes → minutes
Cross-account route tracing
Operational Go service
Problem
Tracing connectivity across accounts meant manually following VPC route tables, Transit Gateways, and Cloud WAN. A typical investigation took 30–60 minutes.
Action
Built and operationalized a Go-based network path tracing service spanning VPC route tables, Transit Gateways, Cloud WAN, and cross-account networks.
Outcome
Reduced typical manual investigations from 30–60 minutes to minutes with a repeatable tracing workflow.
engineering takeaways
Reusable patterns from the work.
These notes focus on the engineering judgment, tradeoffs, and patterns behind the work.
- Automated route traversal across multiple AWS networking layers.
- Made a recurring investigation workflow available as an operational service.
- Measured the result in investigation time: from 30–60 minutes to minutes.
