Grafana Tempo 2021: Year in review
Grafana Tempo has had quite a year. Just eight months after it was announced at ObservabilityCON 2020, the open source tracing solution went GA. Since the Tempo team released v1.0 in June, we have ingested more than 39 trillion spans, a 26x increase from last year. We also introduced Grafana Enterprise Traces, which is powered by Tempo, to the Grafana Enterprise Stack.
Here’s a recap of all the news that shaped Tempo’s action-packed year, and the demos and webinars we hosted to help the community embrace tracing in their observability solutions.
If you’re interested in learning more about Tempo and distributed tracing, kick off 2022 with our upcoming webinar “Distributed tracing with Grafana: From Tempo OSS to Enterprise” on Jan. 27.
