“…They are designed for mid-to-small-sized distributed systems [17]. The framework for both Jaeger and Zipkin is meant to be reusable and capture traces on a smaller scale [14]. The system stores the original trace information and visualizes a single trace at a time [17].…”

“…The system stores the original trace information and visualizes a single trace at a time [17]. Jaeger creates a tree-like structure similar to the model produced by Dapper, while Zipkin implements its own data model [14]. An example of Jaeger's trace and span comparison graph can be seen in Figure 4.…”

Data Fusion of Observability Signals for Assisting Orchestration of Distributed Applications

“…The use of distributed tracing techniques to support observability in serverless applications and provide insights for troubleshooting purposes is examined in [27]. In [28], an approach is provided to evaluate observability of microservices both in an offline and an implementation-agnostic manner. Intra-and inter-service execution paths are described as a behavioral model of the microservices under observation, serving as input to an application workload generator that produces realistic trace data.…”
