A few of my colleagues and I had the silly (?) idea that you don't really need logs anymore. Instead of log messages you just attach span events [0]. You then just log the span title and a link to that span in Jaeger; something like [1]. I've only really tried that in my private project, but it felt pretty good. The UI of Jaeger could be a bit better to support that usage, though.

Edit: Actually, those colleagues are doing a talk about that topic. So, if you are in Germany and Hannover area, have a look at [2] and search for "Nie wieder Log-Files!".
