Jaeger is a distributed tracing tool initially built by Uber and released as open source in 2015. Jaeger is also a Cloud Native Computing Foundation graduate project and was influenced by Dapper and OpenZipkin. It is used for monitoring and troubleshooting microservices-based distributed systems.
OpenTelemetry (also known as OTel) is an open source framework comprising a collection of tools, APIs, and SDKs. OpenTelemetry makes generating, instrumenting, collecting, and exporting telemetry data easy. The data collected from OpenTelemetry is vendor-agnostic and can be exported in many formats. OpenTelemetry is formed after merging two projects OpenCensus and OpenTracing.
