Jaeger

Open-source distributed tracing from Uber and CNCF

About Jaeger

At its core, Jaeger is an open-source, end-to-end distributed tracing system originally built at Uber. What sets it apart is that it visualizes request flows across microservices to find latency bottlenecks and failure paths. For developers, the appeal is simple: less infrastructure busywork, faster feedback and tooling that fits into existing workflows instead of replacing them wholesale.
