16.6Correlation vs business identifier

Don't use only:

customerId=C001

for tracing.

One customer can have:

100 requests

You want both:

correlationId = identifies transaction

customerId = identifies business entity

Example:

{
  "correlationId": "REQ-8F21",
  "customerId": "C001"
}

Very useful combination.
