What is Jaeger?
Jaeger is an open-source distributed tracing system that enables monitoring and troubleshooting of complex microservice-based applications. Developed by Uber Technologies, it draws inspiration from Dapper and OpenZipkin, providing a comprehensive solution for observing the interactions between services in a distributed system. Jaeger collects and analyzes data from various components of an application, allowing developers and operations teams to pinpoint performance bottlenecks, identify service dependencies, and quickly resolve issues. With its intuitive user interface and powerful query capabilities, Jaeger empowers organizations to gain visibility into the behavior and performance of their distributed applications, facilitating effective troubleshooting and optimization
