PROFILE

Zach Leslie

Worked on the grafana/tempo repository to enhance both security and scalability in backend systems. Addressed a TLS enforcement gap by ensuring the -tempo-push-tls flag reliably activates secure data transmission, aligning the OTLP exporter’s behavior with configuration and reducing misconfiguration risks. Built multi-tenant autoscaling support for Prometheus via KEDA, introducing new jsonnet configuration fields and centralizing trigger logic to streamline multi-tenant deployments. Collaborated on documentation and release processes, emphasizing maintainability and cross-team review. Leveraged Go, Kubernetes, and Prometheus expertise to deliver targeted improvements in backend reliability, security, and operational flexibility, laying groundwork for future multi-tenant autoscaling enhancements.

April 2026 monthly summary for grafana/tempo focusing on security hardening and correctness of TLS data transmission. Implemented TLS enforcement when the -tempo-push-tls flag is set, ensuring the OTLP exporter uses TLS in normal operation and aligns with the validation path. This change improves data in transit security, reduces misconfiguration risk, and enhances overall reliability of the exporter.
