+In order to visualize and analyze your traces, you will need to export them to a tracing backend such as Jaeger or Zipkin.
+OpenTelemetry JS provides exporters for some common open source tracing backends.
+
+Below you will find some introductions on how to setup backends and the matching exporters.
+
+## Jaeger
+
+To set up Jaeger as quickly as possible, run it in a docker container:
+
+```shell
+$ docker run -d --name jaeger \
+  -e COLLECTOR_ZIPKIN_HOST_PORT=:9411 \
+  -p 5775:5775/udp \
+  -p 6831:6831/udp \
+  -p 6832:6832/udp \
+  -p 5778:5778 \
+  -p 16686:16686 \
+  -p 14268:14268 \
+  -p 14250:14250 \
+  -p 9411:9411 \
+  jaegertracing/all-in-one:latest
+```
+
+Install the exporter package as a dependency for your application:
+
+```shell
+npm install --save @opentelemetry/exporter-jaeger
+```
+
+Update your opentelemetry configuration to use the exporter and to send data to your jaeger backend:
+
+```javascript
+const { JaegerExporter } = require("@opentelemetry/exporter-jaeger");
+const { BatchSpanProcessor } = require("@opentelemetry/tracing");
+
+provider.addSpanProcessor(new BatchSpanProcessor(new JaegerExporter()))
+```
+
+## Zipkin
+
+To set up Zipkin as quickly as possible, run it in a docker container:
+
+```shell
+docker run --rm -d -p 9411:9411 --name zipkin openzipkin/zipkin
+```
+
+Install the exporter package as a dependency for your application:
+
+```shell
+npm install --save @opentelemetry/exporter-zipkin
+```
+
+Update your opentelemetry configuration to use the exporter and to send data to your zipkin backend:
+
+```javascript
+const { ZipkinExporter } = require("@opentelemetry/exporter-zipkin");
+const { BatchSpanProcessor } = require("@opentelemetry/tracing");
+
+provider.addSpanProcessor(new BatchSpanProcessor(new ZipkinExporter()))
+```
+
+## OpenTelemetry Collector
+
+If you are looking for a vendor-agnostic way to receive, process and export your
+telemetry data follow the instructions to setup a [OpenTelemetry collector](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/collector/)
