## AI interpretation — verify before relying

Automatically instruments Django web applications to emit OpenTelemetry traces, capturing request/response lifecycle and performance metrics for observability.

Verdict: A well-maintained, actively developed instrumentation library in beta status with no known vulnerabilities. Low install friction and permissive licensing make it a straightforward choice for Django teams adopting OpenTelemetry observability. Beta status warrants standard pre-production testing.
