    The best starting point would be https://opentelemetry.io, and start implementing the SDKs for Tracing into your application. You can use Jaeger to get started. There are getting started guides for each of the language SDKs. Once you graduate from something you can manage with Jaeger, a lot of the vendors offer free forever plans (We do, as do Grafana, and Lightstep) on their SaaS plans.

    Caveat: I work for a vendor in the O11y space (https://honeycomb.io) as a Developer Advocate, however, this advice is generic, not specific to our platform.
