Building a Distributed Tracing System with Jaeger and OpenTelemetry
Introduction to Distributed Tracing In the world of microservices, understanding how requests flow through your system can be as complex as navigating a maze. This is where distributed tracing comes into play, and two of the most powerful tools in this domain are Jaeger and OpenTelemetry. In this article, we’ll delve into how you can create a robust distributed tracing system using these tools. What is Jaeger? Jaeger is an open-source distributed tracing platform that was originally developed by Uber and is now part of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF)....
