It sits between your application and the cassandra-driver or scylla-driver libraries, capturing query execution as spans that can be exported to observability backends (Jaeger, Datadog, etc.). The instrumentation is part of the OpenTelemetry Python contrib ecosystem and follows the same patterns as other database instrumentors in that suite.\n\nYou install it alongside your existing Cassandra driver, then call the instrumentor to activate automatic span generation. It depends on the core OpenTelemetry packages (opentelemetry-api, opentelemetry-instrumentation, opentelemetry-semantic-conventions) and the wrapt library for wrapping. The package is in beta (version 0.65b0) and requires Python 3.10 or later.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are already using OpenTelemetry in your application and need visibility into Cassandra or Scylla operations. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, and carries no known vulnerabilities. The beta version status warrants checking release notes before upgrading in production, but the core OpenTelemetry ecosystem is stable. Install it if observability of your database layer is a priority."},"id":"opentelemetry-instrumentation-cassandra","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/opentelemetry-instrumentation-cassandra","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/opentelemetry-instrumentation-cassandra.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/opentelemetry-instrumentation-cassandra/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-16","license_spdx":"Apache-2.0","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"opentelemetry-instrumentation-cassandra","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"OpenTelemetry Cassandra instrumentation"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":3278132,"position":2677,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.65b0"}
