When installed and activated, it automatically wraps Boto requests to emit spans that capture the operation, service, and outcome, making AWS API calls visible in your observability pipeline alongside other instrumented services.\n\nIt depends on the core OpenTelemetry libraries (opentelemetry-api, opentelemetry-instrumentation, opentelemetry-semantic-conventions) and is designed to work alongside other OpenTelemetry instrumentation packages. The package is in beta status but actively maintained, supporting Python 3.9 through 3.14.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you use Boto and already run OpenTelemetry in your application. It adds observability to AWS SDK calls with minimal setup and no known vulnerabilities. The beta status and recent maintenance suggest it is production-ready for the tracing use case, though verify span coverage matches your needs."},"id":"opentelemetry-instrumentation-boto","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/opentelemetry-instrumentation-boto","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/opentelemetry-instrumentation-boto.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/opentelemetry-instrumentation-boto/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-03-04","license_spdx":"Apache-2.0","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"opentelemetry-instrumentation-boto","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"OpenTelemetry Boto instrumentation"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1933854,"position":3422,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.61b0"}
