The Python agent to be used for Amazon CodeGuru Profiler
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you run Python applications on AWS and need built-in profiling integration with CodeGuru. The package is production-stable, has no known vulnerabilities, and installs with minimal friction. The aging maintenance status is a minor concern but not a blocker—the agent is mature and the underlying AWS service remains actively supported. Requires active AWS credentials and CodeGuru Profiler subscription.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires AWS credentials and boto3 configuration to communicate with CodeGuru Profiler service.
- Low install friction with a pure-Python wheel distribution.
- Maintenance status is aging—last commit was 246 days ago—but the package remains in production-stable classification and continues to support current Python versions.

What it is and what it does
The CodeGuru Profiler Python Agent is an AWS-provided instrumentation library that collects runtime profiling data from Python applications and streams it to Amazon CodeGuru Profiler for centralized analysis. It depends on boto3 to communicate with AWS services and runs as a background agent within your application process.
The agent is designed to be integrated into production applications to provide continuous performance insights, identifying bottlenecks and optimization opportunities. It supports Python 3.6 through 3.13 and has been in production use since its initial release in late 2020, though recent maintenance activity has slowed.
Use it for
- Monitor CPU and memory usage patterns in production Python services running on AWS.
- Identify performance bottlenecks and hot code paths in long-running applications.
- Collect continuous profiling data for applications deployed on EC2, ECS, or Lambda.
- Correlate application performance metrics with AWS infrastructure and business metrics.
- Troubleshoot performance regressions by comparing profiling data across application versions.
