Jaeger Tracing: Pros, Cons, Alternatives and Best Practices
OpenTelemetry (OTel), is an open source, CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation) project that provides tools, APIs and SDKs for observability data collection (i.e, logs, metrics and traces) from cloud-native applications. Developers can use the data collected from OTel to monitor and analyze application health and performance. To leverage the data and its insights, you can export the data to external solutions, like APMs, open source Jaeger and Zipkin, Helios, and others.
