About
Jaeger is an open-source, cloud-native distributed tracing platform designed for modern microservice architectures. It maps the flow of requests and data as they traverse distributed systems, helping engineers identify performance bottlenecks, troubleshoot errors, and improve application reliability. The project is hosted under the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) and is infinitely scalable.
Problem
Debugging and monitoring request flows across distributed microservices is complex and error-prone without end-to-end visibility.
For
software engineers and platform/ops teams running microservice-based applications
How it works
Jaeger instruments applications to collect and correlate trace data as requests flow through multiple services, visualizing latency, errors, and dependencies in a unified platform.
