Introduction to Grafana Tempo, a high-scale distributed tracing backend
Along with metrics and logs, tracing is one of the three pillars of modern observability. Grafana Tempo is a high-volume distributed tracing backend whose only dependency is object storage. Unlike other tracing backends, Tempo can hit massive scale without a difficult-to-manage Elasticsearch or Cassandra cluster.
In this webinar, we will use an instrumented application to demonstrate how to use logs and Prometheus exemplars to find traces effectively in Tempo. The demo will cover the fundamentals of operating Tempo, showcase available features that help you optimize your use of Adaptive Traces, and highlight how Tempo enables massive scale with less operational cost and complexity than ever before.
