Distributed tracing is a technique for monitoring & profiling systems built on microservices architecture. Distributed tracing is quickly becoming a must-have component in the tools that organizations use to monitor their complex, microservice-based architecture. Jaeger is an open source tool and part of CNCF project released and worked by Uber.

Outline

Will be covering following topics:

• Introduction to Microservices
• What is Distributed Tracing and Open Tracing?

• Using Jaeger to monitor microservices-based distributed systems covering:

    a. Distributed context propagation.
    b. Distributed transaction monitoring.
    c.  Root cause analysis.
    d. Service dependency analysis.
    e. Performance / Latency optimization
  

• Demo Jaeger with an example from Monitoring perspective.

• Demo of tracing to collect application metrics in Kubernetes with Jaeger.
• Using Jaegar at scale with Kubernetes in a microservice environment.
