Application Observability with a FOSS Tool: Jaeger Way

Proposal status is Rejected
Session Description

In the rapidly evolving landscape of distributed systems, ensuring seamless performance and identifying issues promptly is paramount. Observability has emerged as a key practice in understanding system behavior, yet many organisations struggle to implement effective solutions due to complexity and cost concerns. Explore Jaeger, an open-source, end-to-end distributed tracing tool that simplifies the process of achieving observability without breaking the bank.

This talk will dive into the practicalities of using Jaeger to achieve comprehensive application observability. We'll explore the capabilities of Jaeger, including its integration with modern tech stacks, its ability to trace requests across microservices, and how it can help you gain deep insights into your system's performance.


  • Introduction to Observability
  • Why Choose Jaeger?
  • Integrating Jaeger with Your Tech Stack
