+Jaeger v2 is designed to be a versatile and flexible tracing platform. It can be deployed as a single binary that can be configured to perform different **roles** within the Jaeger architecture, such as:
   * **collector**: Receives incoming trace data from applications and writes it into a storage backend.
   * **query**: Serves the APIs and the user interface for querying and visualizing traces.
   * **ingester**: Ingests spans from Kafka and writes them into a storage backend; useful when running in a [split collector-Kafka-ingester configuration](./#via-kafka).

 This runs the **all-in-one** configuration of Jaeger ([see Architecture](../architecture/)) that combines collector and query components in a single process and uses a transient in-memory storage for trace data. You can navigate to `http://localhost:16686` to access the Jaeger UI. See the [APIs page](../apis/) for a full list of exposed ports.
