[Jaeger](https://www.jaegertracing.io/) is a tool for [Distributed Tracing](/platforms-and-aoe-services/distributed-tracing.html). Developed at Uber and inspired by Dapper and OpenZipkin it grew into an [Cloud Native Computing Foundation](https://www.cncf.io/) project.

Jaeger is a great tool for troubleshooting distributed systems, such as microservice architectures. Developers and Operation can quickly see communicaiton between services, and what data is communicated where.
|
|
Errors in services can be traced to the originating system. Global trace identifiers are communicated using B3 headers. Jaeger supports Zipkin, which allows easy migration von OpenZipkin & co.
