Jaeger: open source, end-to-end distributed tracing
Monitor and troubleshoot transactions in complex distributed systems
The Jaeger Team strongly condemns Putin's invasion of Ukraine!
Please consider donating to humanitarian aid organizations, such as Razom for Ukraine or Care in Action, to provide relief.
Why Jaeger?
As on-the-ground microservice practitioners are quickly realizing, the majority of operational problems that arise when moving to a distributed architecture are ultimately grounded in two areas: networking and observability. It is simply an orders of magnitude larger problem to network and debug a set of intertwined distributed services versus a single monolithic application.
Problems that Jaeger addresses
distributed transaction monitoring
performance and latency optimization
root cause analysis
service dependency analysis
distributed context propagation
