AI interpretation — verify before relying

AI-generated interpretation of the package facts above; every digit, version, license, or vulnerability id it cites is grounded in the facts already shown on this page

Provides ASGI middleware for OpenTelemetry that automatically instruments request timing and tracing across ASGI frameworks like Django, Starlette, FastAPI, and Quart.

Low friction install with five runtime dependencies all from the OpenTelemetry ecosystem. Actively maintained with recent releases; last commit 2026-08-13 and version 0.65b0 released 2026-07-16.

Apache-2.0 permissive license allows commercial and private use with minimal restrictions, typical for OpenTelemetry project components.

Usage

pip install opentelemetry-instrumentation-asgi

from opentelemetry.instrumentation.asgi import OpenTelemetryMiddleware
app = OpenTelemetryMiddleware(your_asgi_app)

Requires Python 3.10 or later; an ASGI application and OpenTelemetry SDK/exporter must be configured separately.

Verdict: A well-maintained, actively developed instrumentation library for adding observability to ASGI applications via OpenTelemetry. Beta status and zero known vulnerabilities make it suitable for production use where tracing is needed. Low install friction and permissive licensing support broad adoption.

Needs verification

Whether the beta status (0.65b0) indicates API stability or ongoing breaking changes
Performance overhead of middleware on typical ASGI request throughput
Compatibility matrix with specific ASGI framework versions (Django, FastAPI, Starlette, Quart)
