Distributed tracing for microservices

Jaeger is a CNCF-graduated distributed tracing system originally built by Uber for monitoring microservice architectures. ManageStacks provides managed Jaeger hosting with production-ready storage backends and zero operational overhead.

About Jaeger

Jaeger is a distributed tracing platform that helps developers monitor and troubleshoot complex microservice architectures. Originally developed at Uber and now a graduated project of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, Jaeger captures end-to-end request flows across services, making it possible to pinpoint latency bottlenecks, trace error propagation, and understand service dependencies.

With support for OpenTelemetry and multiple storage backends including Elasticsearch and Cassandra, Jaeger fits into modern cloud-native stacks. Its powerful query interface, service dependency graphs, and trace comparison features give engineering teams the tools they need to maintain performance and reliability at scale.

Key Features

  • End-to-end distributed trace collection and visualization
  • Service dependency graph and topology mapping
  • Trace comparison for performance regression analysis
  • Native OpenTelemetry and OpenTracing support
  • Adaptive sampling to control trace volume
  • Multiple storage backend options including Elasticsearch

How ManageStacks Helps

ManageStacks takes care of provisioning storage backends, scaling collectors, and maintaining Jaeger so your team can focus on tracing issues rather than operating the tracing platform.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which storage backend does ManageStacks use for Jaeger?+
ManageStacks configures Jaeger with Elasticsearch by default for production-grade performance and scalability. Alternative backends can be arranged depending on your plan and requirements.
Can I integrate Jaeger on ManageStacks with my existing OpenTelemetry setup?+
Yes. Jaeger natively supports the OpenTelemetry protocol. ManageStacks exposes the collector endpoints securely, so you can point your existing OTel SDKs and agents directly at your managed Jaeger instance.
How does ManageStacks handle Jaeger upgrades and scaling?+
ManageStacks manages Jaeger version upgrades with zero-downtime rollouts and scales collector and query components independently based on your trace volume and query patterns.
