summary

Introduces Grafana Tempo, a distributed tracing backend that stores data exclusively in object storage (no Elasticsearch or Cassandra) and therefore scales to high volume. Demonstrates using OpenTelemetry-instrumented applications plus logs and Prometheus exemplars to locate traces despite Tempo’s trace-id-only search limitation, and shares Grafana internal metrics and operational practices for scaling tracing with lower operational cost.
