This gem provides some middleware for Mumsnet microservices.
CorrelationId checks https headers for the Amazon load balancer trace id and
sets that as the request ID in rails if available. It also then ensures that
request ID is included in every outgoing http call to other microservices so that
the history of a request through all our systems can be traced easily.
RemoteIpLogger sets the correct remote IP in rails even when the request
came via proxies or load balancers.
