Grafana Tempo is an open source, easy-to-use and high-scale distributed tracing backend. Tempo is cost-efficient, requiring only object storage to operate, and is deeply integrated with Grafana, Prometheus, and Loki. Tempo can be used with any of the open source tracing protocols, including Jaeger, Zipkin, OpenCensus, Kafka, and OpenTelemetry. It supports key/value lookup only and is designed to work in concert with logs and metrics (exemplars) for discovery.

Tempo is Jaeger, Zipkin, Kafka, OpenCensus and OpenTelemetry compatible. It ingests batches in any of the mentioned formats, buffers them and then writes them to Azure, GCS, S3 or local disk. As such it is robust, cheap and easy to operate!
