Grafana Tempo is an open-source backend for storing and querying distributed tracing data. It accepts traces in Jaeger, Zipkin, and OpenTelemetry formats and stores them in object storage, and is characterized by lowering costs by simplifying its index around trace IDs. It provides the TraceQL query language and connects with Prometheus metrics and Loki logs in Grafana to form an observability stack.
