# Jaeger

An open-source distributed tracing platform for monitoring and troubleshooting workflows in complex distributed systems.

**Route:** surfaced by the Web Application and Frontend Hosting Platform lane's de-branded queries → substitute to vercel.com.

**Why it's on the map:** A buyer evaluating Vercel’s AI cloud platform for debugging distributed systems could choose Jaeger’s tracing capability instead of using Vercel’s Observability features, making the anchor unnecessary for that specific job.

**Receipts** (verbatim from its page this run):

> open source, distributed tracing platform

> Monitor and troubleshoot workflows in complex distributed systems

> Jaeger maps the flow of requests and data as they traverse a distributed system
