Aliyun Trace
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you are running LLM workloads on Aliyun and need to send traces to ARMS. The low install friction and permissive license make it straightforward to add. However, the 420-day maintenance gap warrants checking that it remains compatible with your OpenTelemetry version and Aliyun ARMS API before committing to production use.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.7 or later; depends on aliyun-semantic-conventions, opentelemetry-api, opentelemetry-semantic-conventions, and wrapt being available.
- Low install friction with a pure-Python wheel.
- Maintenance status is aging—last release was 420 days ago—so expect limited active development and potential staleness relative to OpenTelemetry ecosystem changes.

What it is and what it does
Aliyun Trace is a Python library for creating manual traces of LLM applications using Aliyun's tracing infrastructure. It builds on OpenTelemetry standards (via opentelemetry-api and opentelemetry-semantic-conventions) to instrument LLM workloads, allowing developers to capture and export trace data to Aliyun's Application Real-time Monitoring Service (ARMS). The library wraps instrumentation logic using wrapt and applies Aliyun-specific semantic conventions.
The package is positioned as a bridge between your LLM code and Aliyun's observability platform. It handles the mechanics of trace creation so you can focus on marking the spans and events that matter in your application. With low install friction and support for Python 3.7 through 3.11, it integrates into existing OpenTelemetry setups, though its aging maintenance status suggests it may lag behind rapid changes in the OpenTelemetry ecosystem.
Use it for
- Instrument LLM inference pipelines running on Aliyun infrastructure to capture request flow and latency.
- Create manual traces for custom LLM workflows where automatic instrumentation is insufficient.
- Export trace data to Aliyun ARMS for centralized monitoring and debugging of distributed LLM applications.
- Integrate LLM observability into existing OpenTelemetry-based monitoring stacks on Aliyun.
