The Invisible Rewrite: Modernizing the Image Promoter

SIG Release rewrote theimage promotercore. It cut 20% of the code. It added apipeline engine,cosignsigning, andSLSAattestations. Signing now sits separate fromsignature replication. Registry reads run in parallel - plan time dropped ~20m → ~2m. Per-request timeouts, retries, and HTTP connection reus.. read more

OpenClaw is a great movement, but dead product. what's next?

After talking to 50+ individuals experimenting with OpenClaw, it's clear that while many have tried it and even explored it for more than 3 days, only around 10% have attempted automating real actions. However, most struggle to maintain these automations at a production level due to challenges with .. read more

Grafana Tempo is a distributed tracing backend built for massive scale and low operational overhead. Unlike traditional tracing systems that depend on complex databases, Tempo uses object storage—such as S3, GCS, or Azure Blob Storage—to store trace data, making it highly cost-effective and resilient. Tempo is part of the Grafana observability stack and integrates natively with Grafana, Prometheus, and Loki, enabling unified visualization and correlation across metrics, logs, and traces.

Technically, Tempo supports ingestion from major tracing protocols including Jaeger, Zipkin, OpenCensus, and OpenTelemetry, ensuring easy interoperability. It features TraceQL, a domain-specific query language for traces inspired by PromQL and LogQL, allowing developers to perform targeted searches and complex trace-based analytics. The newer TraceQL Metrics capability even lets users derive metrics directly from trace data, bridging the gap between tracing and performance analysis.

Tempo’s Traces Drilldown UI further enhances usability by providing intuitive, queryless analysis of latency, errors, and performance bottlenecks. Combined with the tempo-cli and tempo-vulture tools, it delivers a full suite for trace collection, verification, and debugging.

Built in Go and following OpenTelemetry standards, Grafana Tempo is ideal for organizations seeking scalable, vendor-neutral distributed tracing to power observability at cloud scale.
