Jaeger Observability Lab 📚 5 Learning Modules
Overview — What is distributed tracing, why Jaeger, learning path Core Concepts — Traces, Spans, Context Propagation, Sampling (with beginner/advanced toggle) Architecture — Animated SVG diagram matching your uploaded architecture (K8s nodes, Jaeger Agent DaemonSets, Collector, Elasticsearch, Prometheus, Grafana, Alertmanager) with animated data flow arrows Integrations — Helm/K8s setup, Prometheus metrics, Grafana data source, Alertmanager rules, OpenTelemetry SDK code
⚡ Live Simulation (Canvas-Animated)
Send Request — animates packets flowing User → Gateway → Auth/Order/Payment → Jaeger → Elasticsearch → Grafana with timestamped logs Simulate Failure — shows error propagation, skipped spans, Alertmanager firing Slow Service — shows bottleneck detection, p99 latency alerts
🔍 Trace Explorer — Jaeger-UI-style waterfall timeline with clickable span details showing per-service timing bars 🎯 Quiz — 6 scenario-based questions with instant feedback and a score tracker 🤖 AI Assistant — Powered by the Claude API, answers any Jaeger question in real time (falls back to a local knowledge base if offline) 🎛️ Beginner / Advanced toggle — hides/shows code blocks and technical deep-dives per mode
