# AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry JavaScript Sample App (DEPRECATED)

**WARNING:** This sample app is deprecated and is no longer maintained.  Please use the [new standardized sample apps](https://github.com/aws-observability/aws-otel-community/tree/master/sample-apps).

A simple HTTP server that demonstrates OpenTelemetry instrumentation for JavaScript apps.

## Prerequisites

* [NPM and Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/download/) installed.
* [ADOT Collector](https://aws-otel.github.io/docs/getting-started/collector) running in your environment

## Getting Started

Run the following commands to start the sample app:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/aws-observability/aws-otel-js.git
cd aws-otel-js/sample-apps
npm install
LISTEN_ADDRESS=localhost:8080 node server.js
```

## Using the sample app

The sample app exposes the following routes. Visit them in your browser, then go to the AWS X-Ray console to see the traces they generate.

* localhost:8080/ - healthcheck endpoint, generates a single span
* localhost:8080/aws-sdk-call - Makes a traced request with the AWS SDK
* localhost:8080/outgoing-http-call - Makes a traced downstream HTTP request
