Jaeger is a CNCF-graduated, open-source distributed tracing platform used to monitor and troubleshoot transactions across microservices. This image runs Jaeger v2 as a single self-contained Go binary in all-in-one mode: an OpenTelemetry-native collector, a query service, and a React web UI in one process. Applications send spans over OTLP (gRPC on 4317, HTTP on 4318); operators search traces, inspect service dependency graphs, view Gantt-style timelines, and perform root-cause and latency analysis in the UI. Traces are persisted locally with an embedded Badger key-value store, so they survive restarts and reboots with a configurable retention window. Any OpenTelemetry SDK or Collector can export to it, and the same image scales out to Cassandra or Elasticsearch backends when volume grows. Apache-2.0 license, no vendor lock-in.
