That’s our motivation and experience over the last 6 months running it internally at Grafana Labs. Much cheaper and easier to operate.

Not to bash Jaeger though, its more powerful than tempo in that it allows you to search for traces. Tempo is about integrating with Grafana, Loki and Prometheus for finding traces.

So if you're not running Loki, you're not going to be able to find traces using tempo? We use grafana and prom, but not loki.

Since Tempo is a k/v store that can retrieve traces given a traceID, we need either a metric system that can store traceIDs in exemplars OR any logging framework to log traceIDs that can be copied over to the Tempo Query UI.
