Jaeger is an open-source, end-to-end distributed tracing system developed by Uber Technologies and now a CNCF graduated project. It helps monitor and troubleshoot microservices-based distributed systems by tracking requests as they flow through multiple services, providing visibility into latency issues, bottlenecks, and service dependencies. Jaeger implements the OpenTracing standard (now part of OpenTelemetry) and provides critical insights for understanding system behavior, diagnosing performance problems, and optimizing complex service interactions in production environments.

**Instrumentation (Python):**
```python
from jaeger_client import Config
config = Config(
config={'sampler': {'type': 'const', 'param': 1},
'logging': True},
service_name='my-service')
tracer = config.initialize_tracer()
with tracer.start_span('operation') as span:
span.set_tag('http.method', 'GET')
