Intro + Deep Dive: Jaeger
summary
Deploys Jaeger with an all-in-one docker image and instruments three Quarkus microservices to show trace timelines, service graphs and trace comparison working end to end. Collection uses an agent sidecar via UDP to a collector, optional Kafka ingestion and storage on Elasticsearch and Cassandra (Badger/in-memory or custom plugins supported). Default sampling is 1 in 1,000, adaptive sampling is planned, and end-to-end tracing adds roughly a 15% throughput overhead while dropped spans appear when queues are underprovisioned.
