Tempo 3.0 cuts tracing storage costs by up to 66% with single‑copy architecture
Tempo 3.0 makes the tracing backend default to a single‑copy, Kafka‑compatible storage layer, eliminating the previous three‑copy replication and slashing object‑storage expenses by roughly two‑thirds. It also graduates TraceQL metrics to GA, letting users derive real‑time metrics straight from traces while boosting query speed and reliability.
