Tempo 3.0 introduces a major architectural shift that decouples the read and write paths, with Kafka handling durability on the write side and a new live store serving recent traces on the read side. Blocks are now written at a replication factor of one instead of three, significantly reducing storage overhead. This release also brings TraceQL metrics to general availability, adds comparison operators for filtering metric results at query time, and introduces a new Tempo CLI redact command for removing sensitive trace data on demand without waiting for retention to expire.

You’ll see how apps sit on top of Cribl Stream, Edge, Search, and Lake, so you reuse the data and logic you already have instead of building custom tools from scratch.
