Re: Jaeger – A Distributed Tracing System
#2I recently used Jaeger to visualize what my distributed system is doing. Got it done in about 2 hours; pretty pleased with that. Jaeger is visually pleasing, available via docker and just worked for me.

#3I've been using Jaeger for a few months now and it performs really well. I even wrote a custom tracer for an unsupported language and it was relatively straight forward.
There are a few things I wish it did, but they are all on the roadmap: http://jaeger.readthedocs.io/en/latest/roadmap/

#4Neat! I was looking into tracing solutions for our k8s cluster the other day and was going to look into setting up Zipkin. Now I'll this to my list of tools to evaluate. I found this blog post by uber informative https://eng.uber.com/distributed-tracing/ so maybe there is no need to even setting up Zipkin and just start with Jaegar?

#5I don't like the name.
For those who don't know german, Jaeger is "Jäger" is hunter/ranger. A somewhat neutral term in itself but there is also a slight, somewhat remote connection towards some part of the history ("Jagdstaffel" and what not). I have absolutely no idea if this has anything to do with it, mind you - but since the main authors appear to be in the USA, I find that very awkward. Why not just stick to some english name? That would seem a much better it. Or perhaps they think german names are awesome ... it's also weird when you see all the people write Jaeger rather Jäger...

Totally should have gone with meister for the name instead.

#7Is it something similar to sysdig?

This is a pretty silly objection.
There are plenty of software projects named from a variety of languages not native to the creator of the package. And Jäger has so many neutral meanings and even for a German wouldn't first bring thoughts of the Jagdstaffel I don't think...
Also writing the ä as ae is very common for those who have keyboards without umlaut characters... I've seen it lots of times and doesn't look too weird.

It's a term that has a little bit of currency in pop culture. Pacific Rim called their giant robots Jaegers, while Eren Jaeger is the main character in Attack on Titan.
FWIW, it seems to be an appropriated term.

I am evaluating Google Stackdriver as well, with a zipkin collector. Will see...
