Definition

Jaeger is an open-source, end-to-end distributed tracing system used for monitoring and troubleshooting microservices-based architectures. It helps in understanding the performance and latency issues by providing insights into the execution flow of requests across different services. Jaeger supports features like context propagation, distributed transaction monitoring, root cause analysis, and service dependency analysis.
