Tracing and Jaeger

“

- Let's also briefly talk about the role of tracing and Jaeger. So what it's tracing? Traces are useful to get insight into how a request is processed in a microservices architecture. So traces really means that you are following the request. And in a trace, different events will be shown to indicate how exactly a request is processed. And tracers can be stored and analyzed using a tracing system. Jaeger is most common tracing system in the Kubernetes ecosystem, and tracing itself is standardized in the OpenTelemetry project, an OpenTelemetry is a project within the Linux Foundation, like many of these open source projects.
