For the full article, visit:(https://gethelios.dev/blog/jaeger-vs-helios-which-one-should-you-choose/)

OpenTelemetry (OTel), is an OSs that provides tools, APIs and SDKs for microservices observability based data collection (i.e, logs, metrics and traces) and therefore it's tailored to cloud native apps.

Developers use the data collected by OTel for monitoring apps health and performance and debugging and testing microservices. The data can be exported externally to tools, like APMs, open source Jaeger and Zipkin, Helios, and others.

In this article, we’ll explain Jaeger tracing compared to OpenTelemetry, and demonstrate how they can be enriched with advanced observability and insights for troubleshooting microservices >>
