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

Automatically instruments Python database API calls to emit OpenTelemetry traces, capturing database operations for observability and performance monitoring.

Low friction: pure Python wheel with four stable runtime dependencies (opentelemetry-api, opentelemetry-instrumentation, opentelemetry-semantic-conventions, wrapt). Active maintenance with a recent release 28 days ago.

Apache-2.0 permissive license allows commercial use, modification, and distribution with minimal restrictions—suitable for most production environments.

Usage

pip install opentelemetry-instrumentation-dbapi

from opentelemetry.instrumentation.dbapi import trace_integration
trace_integration()

Requires Python 3.10 or later; package is in Beta (0.65b0) status.

Verdict: A well-maintained, low-friction instrumentation library for database observability in OpenTelemetry ecosystems. Beta status and recent activity suggest active development. No known vulnerabilities and permissive licensing make it safe for adoption, though Beta maturity warrants testing before production deployment.

Needs verification

Which specific database APIs (DB-API 2.0 implementations) are supported by this instrumentation.
Whether the Beta version (0.65b0) is considered production-ready or if a stable release is recommended.
