Jaeger’s ClickHouse backend shrinks spans 8.6× while handling 50k‑plus ops/sec
Jaeger 2.18 adds a native ClickHouse backend that compresses trace spans 8.6× and sustains over 50k spans per second in benchmarks with 10 million spans. The columnar design slashes storage costs and speeds up cross‑dimensional queries, letting teams keep billions of spans without the operational overhead of Cassandra or Elasticsearch.
