summary
Explains Jaeger’s concrete pipeline: application client libraries -> agent (sidecar or daemonset) -> collector -> optional Kafka for durable queue -> storage (choose Elasticsearch or Cassandra backends) -> query. Recommends Helm or the Operator for Kubernetes deployment, notes sidecar agents minimize dropped spans compared with a shared service, and highlights sampling choices (probabilistic, rate‑limit) with a strong recommendation to run a remote sampling controller. Emphasizes Prometheus metrics and inspecting queues to diagnose lost spans.
