Deploy and Host Jaeger All In One on Railway

Just one click to trace and monitor the lifecycle of your applications. Jaeger All In One is a comprehensive, single-container distributed tracing platform that bundles the Jaeger UI, Collector, and Query service. It is designed to provide instant visibility into request flows across microservices with zero manual configuration.

About Hosting Jaeger All In One

Hosting Jaeger All In One on Railway provides a plug-and-play observability backend for your distributed systems. This deployment utilizes the official jaegertracing/all-in-one image, which is optimized for speed and efficiency by using in-memory storage. This means you don't need to provision or manage external databases like Cassandra or Elasticsearch for initial development or debugging. Railway handles the container orchestration and networking, exposing the necessary OTLP (OpenTelemetry) and HTTP ports automatically. It is the ideal solution for developers who need a reliable tracing environment that can be spun up or down instantly.

Common Use Cases

Distributed Tracing: Monitor and visualize how requests flow through complex microservice architectures (Java, Python, JavaScript).
Performance Bottleneck Identification: Pinpoint exactly which service or database call is causing latency in your application's lifecycle.
Root Cause Analysis: Debug failed transactions by inspecting detailed spans and logs within a single trace view.

Dependencies for Jaeger All In One Hosting

In-Memory Storage: No external database required (Default behavior for the all-in-one image).
Docker: The service is deployed as a containerized application via the provided Dockerfile.

Deployment Dependencies

Implementation Details

This template exposes the following critical ports:

16686: The Jaeger Web UI (Dashboard).
4317: OTLP gRPC receiver for modern high-performance tracing.
4318: OTLP HTTP receiver for web-compatible tracing.

The Dockerfile is kept minimalist to ensure fast builds and compatibility with Railway's ephemeral file system:

FROM jaegertracing/all-in-one:latest
EXPOSE 16686 4317 4318
ENV SAMPLING_STRATEGIES_FILE=/etc/jaeger/sampling_strategies.json
