Answer
They trace the path of requests, identifying failure points.
When a network failure occurs in a distributed system, Correlation IDs allow you to follow the path of a request through various services. This helps pinpoint where the failure happened. In an e-commerce system, if a payment fails, the Correlation ID can trace the request from the frontend, through the payment gateway, to the bank API, identifying which hop caused the issue.
