  Tempo's a backend/sink for traces, but if you click through to the Tempo docs and find out how to generate tracing data[1], you learn that you have two options: OpenTelemetry, which they recommend, and Zipkin, which they do not recommend.

  Tempo is a traces server. Prometheus is a metrics server. Grafana, the same company that develops and sells Tempo created a horizontally scalable version of Prometheus called Mimir. OpenTelemetry is an ecosystem, not just 1 app. It’s protocols, libraries, specs, a Collector (which acts as a clearinghouse for metrics+traces+logs data). It’s bigger than just Tempo. The intention of Patel seems to be to decouple the protocol from the app by having adapters for all of the pieces.

    Prometheus is not only a metrics server, it's also become the de-facto metrics exposition format.
