Jaeger vs. Zipkin: Battle of the Open Source Tracing ToolsCategory: Software, Business, Data, Architecture, RabbitMQ
Twitter was a killer app for the mobile generation, but its backend systems couldn’t handle its sudden popularity and massive adoption. At the time, most backend software was written as a monolithic application; not only were these systems fragile, but they were hard to extend and maintain.
In this article, we’ll examine two tools, Zipkin and Jaeger, that are designed to make distributed computing and microservice-based architectures easier to monitor and manage.
Once you have a solution in place, you’ll need tools like Zipkin and Jaeger to manage and process the collected data.
What Jaeger lacks in maturity, it makes up for in speed and flexibility, and its newer, more dispersed parallel architecture.
