Key Features:

1. Complete Zipkin Compatibility: Supports Zipkin v2 span format
2. Multiple Storage Backends: In-memory implementation with extensible interface
3. Efficient Querying: Fast trace retrieval and filtering
4. Dependency Analysis: Automatic dependency link generation
5. Trace Analysis: Critical path analysis and statistics
6. Async Operations: Non-blocking storage operations
7. Memory Management: Configurable retention and cleanup
8. Production Ready: Thread-safe, error handling, and monitoring

This implementation provides a solid foundation for building Zipkin-compatible trace storage that can scale to handle high volumes of distributed tracing data.
