- Platform/SRE — Plan: This GA major release changes how Tempo is deployed at scale — removing the RF3 requirement reduces storage overhead and the new Kafka-compatible architecture decouples read/write paths. Teams running Tempo should schedule an upgrade evaluation this quarter to assess the operational and cost impact.
- CI/CD — Skip
- Leader — Learn: The RF3 removal and new architecture lower the infrastructure cost of running distributed tracing at scale, which is a useful data point if Tempo is part of the observability standard — but no strategic decision is forced by this release.
