Using Jaeger for your microservices

Jaeger is a popular open-source tool used for distributed tracing in a microservice architecture. In a microservice architecture, a user request or transaction can travel across hundreds of services before serving what a user wants. Distributed tracing helps to track the performance of a transaction across multiple services. Before we deep dive into how Jaeger accomplishes distributed tracing for microservices-based architecture, let's take a short detour to understand distributed tracing.

This tells me there is a lot of wasted time and effort trying to convince incompatible businesses to sign with you. So how can you improve your odds of converting prospects?
