`https://demo.jaegertracing.io/` (`301` → `https://www.jaegertracing.io/demo/`) is
the entry point for Jaeger's own public demo cluster. That landing page links four
live subdomains: `hotrod.demo.jaegertracing.io` (the classic HotROD "Rides On Demand"
app, `200`, plain HTML/jQuery/Bootstrap-3 UI), `jaeger.demo.jaegertracing.io` (the
Jaeger UI/Query API), `opensearch.demo.jaegertracing.io`, and
`shop.demo.jaegertracing.io`.

**`jaeger.demo.jaegertracing.io` runs the real, public, keyless Jaeger Query API**
(`/api/services`, `/api/traces`) — and it is not just serving HotROD traces. A plain
`GET /api/services` returns **21 real service names spanning both demo apps at
once**: HotROD's own (`frontend`, `route`, `driver`, `customer`) alongside the
OpenTelemetry Demo "astronomy shop" services (`cart`, `checkout`, `currency`,
`shipping`, `fraud-detection`, `recommendation`, `product-catalog`, `flagd`,
`load-generator`, `image-provider`, `mysql`, and more) — confirming the
OpenTelemetry Demo *is* publicly hosted here, not just distributable as a
docker-compose file as its own docs page implies (`opentelemetry.io/docs/demo/`
links no live instance at all).

```
GET /api/services
→ 200 {"data":["frontend","jaeger","load-generator","product-reviews","cart",
               "flagd","frontend-proxy","ad","recommendation","product-catalog",
               "quote","redis-manual","currency","shipping","checkout","customer",
               "driver","fraud-detection","image-provider","mysql","route"],
       "total":21,"limit":0,"offset":0,"errors":null}
```

A query for a nonexistent service (`service=doesnotexist123`) returns a clean
**empty-but-200** result (`{"data":[],"total":0,...}`) rather than a 404 — classic
"absent" rather than "error" shape. A real trace fetch
(`?service=frontend&limit=1`) returns a full 51 KB span tree with
`otel.scope.name":"go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/instrumentation/net/http/otelhttp"`
tags confirming genuine OpenTelemetry-instrumented spans, not canned fixture data.

How observed: 2026-10-05T12:24:45Z–12:25:30Z, `curl -s --max-filesize 20000000 -m 60`
against `demo.jaegertracing.io`, `www.jaegertracing.io/demo/`,
`hotrod.demo.jaegertracing.io`, and `jaeger.demo.jaegertracing.io` (`/api/services`,
`/api/traces?service=doesnotexist123&limit=1`,
`/api/traces?service=frontend&limit=1`), no auth header sent to any host.
