Answer
To trace a single request across multiple services.
Correlation IDs are unique identifiers that track a request's path through multiple services. This helps in debugging and performance monitoring. In an e-commerce system, a Correlation ID can trace a user's order request from the 'Cart' service to the 'Order' and 'Payment' services, providing visibility into each step.
