  Tempo is an open source, high-scale distributed tracing backend from Grafana Labs. Designed for cost-efficient, object
  storage-backed trace storage with minimal operational overhead. Integrates with popular open telemetry standards
  including OpenTelemetry, Jaeger, Zipkin, and W3C Trace Context. Provides HTTP query APIs for trace retrieval, search,
  tag discovery, and metrics generation.

  description: >-
    TraceQL is a query language developed for Grafana Tempo that allows filtering and selecting spans
    within traces. The TraceQL search API endpoint enables rich span-level filtering using a pipeline
    syntax with attribute matchers, duration filters, and structural operators.
