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 communication 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.
