Deploy Tempo

Tempo can be easily deployed through a number of tools, including Helm, Tanka, Kubernetes, and Docker.

The following procedures provide example Tempo deployments that you can use as a starting point.

Tempo can be deployed in a number of ways, depending on your needs and environment. You can deploy Tempo in a monolithic mode or in a microservices mode.

You can also use Docker to deploy Tempo using the Docker examples.

Deploy locally

Monolithic mode (single binary) is commonly used for a local installation, testing, or small-scale deployments. This mode can be deployed using a pre-compiled binary, OS-specific packaging, or Docker image. While it’s possible to deploy monolithic mode in a Kubernetes cluster, it is not recommended for production use.

You can deploy Tempo locally using the monolithic mode. You can use using the Docker examples or you can use the Linux example (monolithic) to deploy Tempo on a Linux host.

For more information, refer Deploy Tempo locally.

Note

The Tanka and Helm examples are equivalent. They are both provided for people who prefer different configuration mechanisms.
