In this episode of OpenObservability Talks, Dotan Horovits sits down with Yuri Shkuro, the creator of Jaeger, to unveil the highly anticipated Jaeger V2. This major release introduces a new architecture with deep OpenTelemetry integration, which promises more flexibility, performance, extensibility and ease of use. Join us as Yuri shares insider details on the challenges, innovations, and roadmap for Jaeger V2 towards a more efficient and scalable distributed tracing solution.

Yuri is a software engineer who works on distributed tracing, observability, reliability, and performance problems, currently working at Meta; author of the book "Mastering Distributed Tracing"; creator of Jaeger, an open source distributed tracing platform originally developed at Uber; co-founder of the OpenTracing and OpenTelemetry CNCF projects; member of the W3C Distributed Tracing Working Group.
